VMWare 12.5.6 process terminates immediately after start

Hi,

Today i installed vmware workstation pro 12.5.6 and the vmware-patch too, therefore if i tried to run the application it doesnt work, algo if i run it from the terminal its not working,

also i tried this:

# mv /etc/vmware/icu/icudt44l.dat /etc/vmware/icu/icudt44l.dat.bak

OR

# export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS='yes'

If i run

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

i dont get any error but checked the logs and get this, but still get this error:

2017-05-31T15:59:32.278+02:00| appLoader| W115: Unable to load libfontconfig.so.1 from /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libfontco$
2017-05-31T15:59:32.278+02:00| appLoader| W115: Unable to load dependencies for /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmware-modcon$
2017-05-31T15:59:32.278+02:00| appLoader| W115: Unable to execute /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-modconfig.

Im using 4.11.3-1-ARCH with GCC 7.1.1

Re: VMWare 12.5.6 process terminates immediately after start

I found the solution :
You need to downgrade libpng-1.6.29 to 28

Tutorial:
1 - Install the package "Downgrade" with yaourt
2 -downgrade libpng
3 - choose a old version like "libpng-1.6.28"
4- Install
5- sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
5- Run VMWARE

Enjoy
