Hello,

No. I don't think that I have any other VMWare product installed on it. VMPlayer is the first product I was trying
to install.

hrmm.... I'm not sure then. My guess is there has at one time been
another install of a vmware product. I believe you can go into the
bin directory of the installer and do a ./vmware-uninstall.pl. or
something like that to see if it will remove the modules.

One thing to also check is to see if some vmware process is running.

ps -eaf | grep vm

If you have things like vmnet, etc, some vmware product is on there.
Take a look then in /etc/init.d and see if there is a vmware script
and stop it.

/etc/init.d/vmware stop (at least for workstation on my laptop)

Then see if you can install the player. If it still complains, I'm not sure.

The modules are in
/lib/modules/<kernel>/misc
