VMware Workstation 16.2.3 ubuntu 22.04

Hello, When I was under ubuntu 21, vmware workstation 16.2.3 works fine, but with the new release of ubuntu, I've got the VMWARE Kernel Module Updater which execute with an error : unable to install all modules. I try to install and reinstall VMWARE Workstation with the same problem. 
If you have an idea about resolving this problem, it would be great.

I have the same versions of VM WS Pro and Ubuntu.  I too had no problem with running VMware Pro on 21.10 or 21.04.  When I updated the kernel on those versions Pro would trigger a recompile of VMware's vmmon and vmnet kernel modules when it was next run and the process worked without a hitch.

Now the recompile fails with errors like this:

2022-04-17T10:24:08.995Z In(05) host-33407 /tmp/modconfig-tFTq2S/vmnet-only/hub.c:261:20: warning: argument 3 of type ‘uint8[]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[]’} with mismatched bound [-Warray-parameter=]

I have attached the log file as well.

vmware's inability to release an updated version in a timely fashion is crazy !  vmware can't learn from previous mistakes - and repeats it over and over again.
