sudo Downloads/VMware-Player-12.1.0-3272444.x86_64.bundle They want that launched with a shell, and they want root's environament and directory (Otherwise you will end up with a lot of files in your download directory that are owned by root). So instead of sudo sitting in your directory, do su - (you will have to be sure root can log in) Or: sudo -s su - (above gives you proper root environment and directory. move the download bundle to roots directory Then: sh VMware-Player-12.1.0-3272444.x86_64.bundle
Neither worked unfortunately: vankan@linux-bew6:~> su - Wachtwoord: linux-bew6:~ # pwd /root linux-bew6:~ # mv /home/vankan/Downloads/VMware-Player-12.1.0-3272444.x86_64.bundle . linux-bew6:~ # sh VMware-Player-12.1.0-3272444.x86_64.bundle This is a x64 bundle and does not match that of the current architecture. Please download the x86 bundle. linux-bew6:~ # exit logout vankan@linux-bew6:~> sudo -s root's password: linux-bew6:/home/vankan # su - linux-bew6:~ # pwd /root linux-bew6:~ # sh VMware-Player-12.1.0-3272444.x86_64.bundle This is a x64 bundle and does not match that of the current architecture.
