[SOLVED]Vmware Cannot execute binary files

Hi guys,

I'm trying to install VmWare 64 but I'm in trouble...

I'm following this guide:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware

but when I run this:

sh VMware-Workstation-7.0.0-203739.x86_64.bundle

I got:

VMware-Workstation-7.0.0-203739.x86_64.bundle: VMware-Workstation-7.0.0-203739.x86_64.bundle: cannot execute binary file

I think that permissions are ok:

[root@riparch Desktop]# ls -lh
total 142M
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 357K Dec  5 20:24 vmware7_x86_64
-rw------- 1 root root 838K Feb 26 20:19 VMWARE LINUX 64bit.rar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  33M Jan  9 22:46 VMware-Workstation-7.0.0-203739.x86_64.bundle
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 108M Jan  9 22:43 VMware-Workstation-7-64.bundle
[root@riparch Desktop]#

Please help me!

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED]Vmware Cannot execute binary files

And why your file "VMware-Workstation-7-64.bundle" has 108mb of size and "VMware-Workstation-7.0.0-203739.x86_64.bundle" 33mb?

Re: [SOLVED]Vmware Cannot execute binary files

Cause they're 2 different files... the 7-64.bundle is for Slackware, the other is for every other linux x64

Re: [SOLVED]Vmware Cannot execute binary files

Just a little 'addendum' ...
You do not need execute-permission on a file run from the shell,
ie if you do:

sh VMware-Workstation-7.0.0-203739.x86_64.bundle

- no 'x' is required.
If you do:

./VMware-Workstation-7.0.0-203739.x86_64.bundle

then execute-permisssion is required
