Hi all, I have tried to follow the installation instructions WIKI Arch Linux Vmware Workstation software :

I googled it, you might need to unset LANG?

Re: Error VMWARE Workstation 10.01 installation with Kernel 3.12

I tried to run this option above, although there is no error with Python, until now I not been able install the software.

After trying several options, I managed to get the installation with the following command, perhaps the option to ignore errors:

./VMware-Workstation-Full-10.0.2-1744117.x86_64.bundle  --console --custom --eulas-agreed -I --regular

Thanks
