Bad MD5 Sum? - VMware Player 2.0 for Linux (.tar)

[geep]

Hi,

I have twice downloaded VMware Player 2.0 for Linux (.tar) from:

http://www.vmware.com/download/player/download.html

which shows these details:

VMware Player 2.0 for Linux (.tar)

Latest Version: 2.0 | 5/09/07 | Build: 45731

Download | Release Notes

md5sum: f6c4ce9becbf9efdb62472219e403de5

But both times I compute the MD5 sum as:

090b02f6a49dd3a4e8617f68e1d2dc7b

Also I get different MD5 sum for the .rpm.

http://www.vmware.com/download/player/download.html shows:

VMware Player 2.0 for Linux (.rpm)

Latest Version: 2.0 | 5/09/07 | Build: 45731

Download | Release Notes

md5sum: 173563d0ac222fd6336edcd42a506930

But I compute it as:

b77b1ec14b2695e30fcdf3654587de75

Does anybody else notice this?

I am wondering if the md5 sum shown belongs to the beta version

of VMPlayer 2.0 and the file is actually the released version.

Or vice-versa - the file is still the beta version and the md5 sum belongs to the new

software which somebody forgot to put on the website.

Note - I don't have any problems with checksums of previous player versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.03

Cheers,

pg

Actually, the MD5 sums for all 5 downloads appear to be wrong. They had this issue on one of the Workstation 6 beta builds as well, but shortly fixed it. Hopefully someone will see this and verify them.

Got the same error also.

The only one that is correct is the x86_64 tar version.

md5sum VMware-player-2.0.0-45731.x86_64.tar.gz

Yes, we are aware of this issue and will have them updated soon.

[RDPetruska]

OK, they all look correct now!

Thanks, I was told when I posted this message that the new pages were to be pushed out soon. So, it seems that the update is complete now

Getting a bad check sum on VMware-workstation-6.0.0-45731.i386.rpm

of e5202b0f3b119a8ee3c161a5711a48bc when it's supposed to be

989c1ea700ac92d49b4f14ce2e71876. The rpm install fails with:

rpm -i VMware-workstation-6.0.0-45731.i386.rpm

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/freebsd.iso;4669e1cb: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch

Anyone know about this error. From the posts it looks like these downloads should all be good to go, but not for me.

thanks,

ted

The MD5SUM listed on the web site are now correct.

If your downloaded file does not match the MD5SUM listed you will need to download again because this is an indication that your download is corrupted or incomplete.
