Linux - VMware Workstation 6.5.3 - Installer hang

Instructions:

• Open 2 Linux terminals
  

• Become root in one of those windows
• Ubuntu --> sudo su -
  Other distro --> su -

 

• In the root-ed window run... 
• while true; do killall -9 vmware-modconfig-console; sleep 1; done

 

• In the non-root terminal run...
• sudo ./VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64.bundle --ignore-errors

 

• Once the installer finishes go back to the root window and do a Ctrl-C to stop the kill loop

• In the root window run... 
• vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
