VMware won't install :( - adwaita and murrine are missing! / Linux Mint (Cinnamon-Tara)

Hi all,

I am trying to install VMware Workstation.

More specifically:

VMware Workstation 14.1.3 Player for Linux 64-bit.

I downloaded this file: VMware-VIX-1.17.0-6661328.x86_64.bundle

Right after it printed "VMware Installer...done." it also printed some errors. I guess this explains why I don't see the actual application anywhere.

Code:

(vmware-installer.py:4868): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita", 
/usr/share/themes/Mint-Y/gtk-2.0/main.rc:1085: error: unexpected identifier `direction', expected character `}'  
(vmware-installer.py:4868): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

I already tried this code for the first error, without avail:

sudo apt install gnome-themes-standard

----------------------------------------------------------

For the 2nd error, I checked Synaptic, and found a package called:

"gtk-engines-murrine", version: 0.98.2-2ubuntu1 (latest version),
description: "cairo-based gtk+-2.0 theme engine"

Any ideas?

Thanks guys!

All is good now!

As ajgringo619 from the Linux Mint forums pointed out:

"That's not the right file. You need this one: VMware-Player-14.1.3-9474260.x86_64.bundle"

I got it installed with the right file already
