I had successfully installed vmware 15.1 in Arch linux kernel 5.7.2, linux kernel header downloaded from arch site and installed. While starting the vmware through admin and user mode Below error is showing in terminal:-

What exactly happening and what could be the possible solution.

$ pacman -F /usr/lib/modules/5.7.2-arch1-1/build/Documentation/Kconfig
usr/lib/modules/5.7.2-arch1-1/build/Documentation/Kconfig is owned by core/linux-docs 5.7.2.arch1-1

Try installing linux-docs .

I am also having the same problem when upgrading my kernel to 5.7.4, I tried to install linux-docs, but without success.
-vmmon and vmnet failure

I had installed linux docs but the error is coming like below. Usually vmware had problem if your linux kernel and header are different but I make sure that linux kernel and headers versioin would be remain same. It is compiling the modules and then error is coming.
when I am executing command vmware through root below error is coming:-
$ sudo vmware

What did Slithery tell you about using code tags?
Please fix your posts, then post -in code tag!- the output of
pacman -Qs linux
and your pacman log (/var/log/pacman.log - you can curl it to ix.io if it's too long)
Online
Also post the exact command you use to have vmware (re)build the kernel modules.
Did you install VMWare through a vmware bundle or one of the aur packages ?
