There is not enough information this thread that can help on troubleshooting this issue further. Would you be able to gather the logs by following KB Collecting diagnostic information for VMware Workstation (1346) | VMware KB . Once complete, post a copy of it on the thread.

Same issue here... The linked KB isnt exactly accurate from what my tired eyes could see. I have the latest Workstation (12.x.x) but the command was not recognized..

[k@localhost ~]$

[k@localhost ~]$ sudo vm-support-collect-host-support-info

[sudo] password for k:

sudo: vm-support-collect-host-support-info: command not found

[k@localhost ~]$ sudo vm-support
