[SOLVED] Installing VMware Workstation

I'm having some issues with installing VMware, the setup program seems to work fine and the software is installed, but when I try to run "vmware" from terminal I get this output:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/libpng16.so.16)

Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 80: saw unknown, expected number

I've tried to search for the canberra-gtk-module, but there is no package that seems to install this on Arch.
The output is accompanied by a GUI window saying "Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel", selecting "Install" button here just exits the program.
The Arch wiki says to try vmware-modconfig --console --install-all, this results in the output below:

Unable to install all modules.  See log for details.

As far as I can tell it's the vmmon and vmnet modules that are unable to install, and I can't seem to find a solution that works.
So is there anyone with a current VMware (my version is 12.5.5) running, who might have some input on what to do?
I'm running the latest Arch kernel (4.11.6.1), and installed all the recommended packages from the wiki for VMWare, including vmware-patch and vmware-systemd-services which I've enabled.

Any help very much appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing VMware Workstation

Vmware keeps giving trouble from time to time. If you are looking for stable setup on arch, look at virtualbox or qemu.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing VMware Workstation

@7thson I was having the exactly same problem and solve following the next steps

# cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
# cp vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.bak
# cp vmmon.tar vmmon.tar.bak
# tar -xf vmnet.tar
# tar -xf vmmon.tar

Patch for vmnet
https://pastebin.com/McqmUf0u

Patch for vmmon
https://pastebin.com/yjbDHiSX

# tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
# tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Re: [SOLVED] Installing VMware Workstation

@diegoflorez thats all find and dandy but the frequency in which it breaks with updates is the problem in my view. not the most suitable software for a rolling release linux.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing VMware Workstation

Hi All,

I had similar errors after kernel upgrade.
But after upgrading VMware to the latest version from the official website it works fine.

> vmware --version
VMware Workstation 12.5.7 build-5813279
> uname -r
4.12.8-2-userns
