I had the same problem. For some reason some of the initscript soft links weren't installed. Check to see if you have them all:
# cd /etc/rc0.d (also rc1.d ... rc6.d) # ls -l *vm* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Mar 20 03:28 K08vmware -> /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware
You should have K08vmware links in all rcX.d subdirectories except rc5.d where you should have a link named S90vmware.
Hope this helps...

Thanks for advice. there was no soft link
K08vmware -> /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware
in rc0.d, rc1.d, rc2.d. rc3.d rc4.d, but there was one in rc6.d.
I have got vmware-any-any-update90.tar.gz for vmware-config. I corrently have vmware-waorkstation 4.5.1. Not sure if I can get 4.5.2 free?
