magic number does not match

Attempted to install WS 6.5 and received the following message "magic number does not match."

I am running unbutu 8.04 on a Dell Workstation with a raid5 disk.

What to do?

Thanks for any help.

Sounds like your download is incomplete. You can use the md5sums on the download page to verify and redownload if they don't match.

After a successful installation, I tried to re-install, then got this message.

I ran md5sum VMware-Workstation-6.5.1...

Then sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.1...

And install worked.
