No time to study.

1. Extract installer script from bundle 

  # dd if=VMware-Workstation-Full-16.1.0-17198959.x86_64.bundle of=vmscript.sh bs=1 count=14544

2.  Change $0  to VMware-Workstation-Full-16.1.0-17198959.x86_64.bundle

3. in function on_exit()  disable remove temporary directories

4. Fix python for ignore dependencies (see patch) )))
