Still getting the "Unable to open > installer..." error. Your error sounds unusual. Does the /etc/vmware/locations file exist? This error message would occur if the installation script (vmware-install.pl) cannot open that file. If your vmware installation is broken somehow, uninstall and reinstall might help.
vmware-any-any-update106/runme.pl expects "location" to be in /etc/vmware. The directory, /etc/vmware, is empty. It would appear that version 5.5.3 of workstation has moved its files to /etc/vmware-tools. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Also linking /etc/vmware to /etc/vmware-tools. Neither works.
