Unable to install Workstation 7 linux host

Problem:

  1. sh VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.x86_64.bundle

does not run in less than a second is back into the prompt.

ref:

opensuse 11.1 // 2.6.27.37-0.1-default

kde 4.2.1

Description: I had installed Workstation 6.5.3 running without problem. After I run the script VMware window came saying if I wanted to remove VMware. Vmaware 6.5.3 was removed, I close the window and nothing else happens. I tried to run it again and no success. I wonder if the problem is in my end but (1) everything seems to running well (2) VMware workstation 6.5.3 was running well (3) I can run other scripts without problem. (4) I made the script exec jic with no effect.

Any tip in which direction should I look at it>

The following is a summary of my problem after few attempts

opensuse 11.1

kde 4.2.1

compiz-fusion

1. I have running great workstation 6.5.3

2. I run the script

#sh VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.x86-64.bundle without any parameter

Uninstall completes Ok then nothing happens.

I run the script again and nothing happens just go to next prompt and no error messages.

I

try to run any of the old scripts like the one for 6.5.3 and it does

not run either. However many month ago when I install opensuse 11.1 it

installed OK

3. I reinstall the partitions from backup so I'm back with vmware 6.5.3 working well

4. I uninstall it but this time using /usr/bin/vmware-uninstall and installation is removed.

5. I try to run the script again and the same problem.

May be distro related but I can not figure out why.
