I've got VMwareWorstation-5.5.2-29772 installed and have encountered the same problem as the OP. The vmware-any-any-update104/runme.pl fails due to the following: "Unable to access the installer database /etc/vmware/locations in read-mode". Guess I've just have to keep using the previous kernel and wait for the next kernel and/or vmware patch.
Interesting. Does /etc/vmware/locations exist? It appears to be built by the vmware-config.pl script.
The latest vmware-any-any-104 patch causes the VMware menu items to disappear from Applications -> System Tools, which is why I tried without it. The vmware-config.pl build works fine and vmware runs fine without the patch on my system.
I don't seem to be able to do Netware logins from my virtual WinXP, but that's a topic for another thread.
