No other errors. I really don't know what's going on?

Is it possible to bypass the "bundle" and extract the files manually?

Thanks,

I don't se how ou can seperate out the programs installed by the bunndle.  The insraller itself is extracted.

I kinda guess that, but thought someone may have similar problem and could come up with a way to handle this issue.

It used to work ... meaning I did installed VMware before all the upgrades I did on my system but I just don't know which package caused this problem.

Thanks,

Jeff
