This is a known issue and 30 seconds in google could have solved it.
Read for example
https://idroot.us/install-vmware-workstation-pro-ubuntu-22-04/

If the installer does not find the header files see
https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/tc3kh4/has_anyone_successfully_installed_vmware/

[daiim]

The solution is what? Modify the source code? That is what you suggest everyone should do? Do you want to be liable what might happen to my machine, (customer) data and lost time for work ..? I play in my spare time on dedicated environments, but definitely I do not mess around with code of productive tools.

I dont work for VMware - not sure why you seem to be angry ...
Anyway - latest Linux-kernels always require patches - if you want to install without issues dont use latest distributions.

Tutorial that helped me:

https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/ubuntu-how-tos/how-to-install-vmware-workstation-16-pro-on-ubu...

From step: "Execute the series of commands to install VMware Workstation modules."

[sfxpt]

The first answer which claimed "30 seconds in google could have solved it"

is ... confusing at best.

This solved the problem!

I dig up my ancient account just so that I can login and say "thank you"!

[fjacquot]

Yes indeed that did the trick. Thank you so much.
