Workstation and Player on the same PC?

I'm making an appliance using VMware Workstation but it has to be tested/used on VMware Player.

Host: MS Vista

Guest: Ubuntu

is there any way to have the Workstation and the Player installed on the same PC?

thanks

sure - you already have both installed.

Just search for the vmplayer.exe - you may have an icon in startmenu already.

well, is the player that comes with Workstation the very same I can download for free from VMware??

I downloaded the Player but I couldn't install it because I have Workstation...

I'd like to test the VM with the Player is going to be finally used.... can that be done on the same PC?
