Every time I am trying to launch Vmware-Workstation, I am getting this error message: Before you can run Vmware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.

After clicking on Install button, I get this: Stopping Vmware Services..

Unable to start services. See log file /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-27309.log for details.

I have tried everything to resolve this error but didn't succeeded. Even formatted my laptop and again reinstall ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Vmware-Workstation 12 Pro but this also doesn't make any difference.

This error is really annoying. Someone please help me out...

Upgrade your "Vmware-Workstation 12 Pro" to "Vmware-Workstation 14.1.1 Pro"

For this,

  1. At first uninstall Vmware-Workstation 12 Pro

  2. Then download Vmware-Workstation 14.1.1 Pro and install it.

And hence, it's done!
Enjoy ;)
