Hi,
Have you tried downloading a full version of the setup and run that install?

Try running the VMWare installer from command line, and put EULAS_AGREED=1 at the end, something like this:
You might try a few options. Using the command line below should work, just replace the name of the EXE with the name of the file you are using.
vm16inst.exe /s /a /l c:\temp\vm16inst.exe \vmware.log /v/qn EULAS_AGREED=1 AUTOSOFTWAREUPDATE=0 DATACOLLECTION=0 DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=1 STARTMENU_SHORTCUT=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL COMPONENTDOWNLOAD=0
NOTE: The command above will install VMware to C:\VMware and will not make an entry into the Programs and Features for easy removal. To "uninstall", simply delete the VMware directory from C:\
OR
Extract the MSI installer and install it using the normal GUI, and it will give you the option to "accept the EULA".
vm16inst.exe /x
The command above will extract the MSI installers to %TEMP% folder. Look for a folder with the name like this, and with a time stamp close to when you extracted it: {F0005601-22C2-4044-BE2F-F2A83403B662}~setup
Copy the files to a new location and use the VMwarePlayer.msi to install. You can use the switches to automate it, or just go through the install using the GUI.
Picture #3 is the dreaded "EULA" box that you can now check. 🙂
