Here are the contents of the log file that it points me to. I then repackaged and tried to start VMWare Player, but it still would not start, with the same error as before. I tried to follow the instructions there, but firstly, the patch to the file vmnet-only/filter.c did not take, so I manually updated the file to contain: #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE hooknum = VMW_NF_INET_POST_ROUTING) They all seem to point to the same solution here, which has worked for some in the past. I am aware that this is an old problem, mentioned, for example, here, here and here. Post-installation, when I tried to launch VMWare Player, but got this prompt: Installed the bundle, and the installation went through fine.

I downloaded the latest version of the VMWare player (v 7.1.0) from here.
