Not exactly a newbie (I've been using arch for over 2 years now), but my first forum post and this seemed like the best section. Please move it if I'm wrong.
My issue: I'm trying to run VMware player 7.1.4 on my system (for Unity mode), and it crashes before displaying a GUI. Error code 1, so that doesn't tell me much. I haven't been able to find the cause, and this is important enough for me to actually have to ask for help for once (I never do).

+++ exited with 1 +++Other virtualization software runs fine (I had been using Virtualbox up until now, but have uninstalled it for VMware), so it's not an issue of the system not having paravirtualization support, not that that would crop up this early in execution anyway.
I built the drivers from the latest VMware version tarball (by installing v12, copying them to a separate directory, reverting to v7 by un/reinstall, and then overwriting the v7 tarballs) instead of using vmware-patch, as vmware-patch isn't working with kernel 4.8 and the solution that was linked to has been deleted.
Any ideas? I've hit a brick wall.

Hi,
not know much, but i think you have lost some file...just check and see if
$BINDIR/vmware-modconfigexists? you can get $BINDIR from:
/etc/vmware/bootstrapOffline

$BINDIR points to /usr/bin on my installation, which does contain vmware-modconfig, yes. (in fact, that's how I installed the modules). Should it point elsewhere?

Nope. I just noticed tle last few lines of /usr/bin/vmplayer is trying to run vmware-modconfig and the real binary file of vmware. I think it is a good idea to debug /usr/bin/vmplayer ? Just try to see it dead on which script/binary file.

I'll give that a try, then. give me a bit, and I'll repot back.
