Hello all,
I'm experiencing problems installing VMware-VIX-1.17.0 on my debian 10.
Here is the exception output:
sudo ./VMware-VIX-1.17.0-6661328.x86_64.bundle
Extracting VMware Installer...done.

In my cause help:
mv /usr/lib/vmware-installer /usr/lib/vmware-installer_OFF
But it was after many hours to trying lots of any advices around discucssions.
In my /usr/lib/vmware-installer was subdirectory: 3.0.0
And finaly, all it was about showing one GUI window with licence agreement...
Thanks you. This is helpful for me also.
Thank you! This was very helpful. I spent hours debugging this issue, I wish VMware would fix it
it seems VIX needs and older version of VMware Installer (2.1.0) and deleting the newer one (3.1.0 already installed by VMware ) would allow the bundle to install
@Minir You are the Best. Thx!
