Seriously, sloppyness on my part created an erroneous reference to

So, seriously, is your problem now solved?
vmware-config-tools.pl refers to /etc/vmware-tools/. vmware-config.pl
refers to /etc/vmware/. Normally, a Linux host would have the former
and a Linux guest would have the latter, and not vice versa. So it
still seems odd that you were running vmware-config.pl in a Linux guest
and getting any outcome other than "command not found" (unless, as you
say...). And it still seems odd that you would have vmware-config.pl
anywhere and be missing /etc/vmware/.
He doesn't have vmware-config.pl anywhere. It was a TYPO. He meant
mware-config-tools.pl. I think he has said that 3 times now in
different ways.
Yeah, but his original complaint was about inability to find files in
/etc/vmware:
The error message is "Unable to open the installer database
/etc/vmware/locations in read-mode.".
vmware-config-tools.pl couldn't produce that error. So I wanted to know
if he's still got that problem.
