Workstation 15.5 for linux installation fails

[boarduser44]

The installation or upgrade from VMware Workstation 15.0.2 pro to 15.5 on a linux host (debian 10) fails with the error:

> Extracting VMware Installer...done.

> Uninstalling VMware Player Application 15.1.0bora/lib/string/str.c:284 Buffer too small

>

> VMware Workstation Error:

> VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (host-6443)

> bora/lib/string/str.c:284 Buffer too small

The installation of the previous version 15.0.2 on the same host works fine.

Does anybody have some hints for me please?

Thanks for your answer - indeed, the setting of the locale did the trick (I use a german environment).

For VMware Team :

Please make correction to version : 15.5.0 and delete this version 15.5.0

Rename new one in 15.5.1

Thanks

I can confirm, that I successfully could upgrade VMWare Workstation Pro 15.1.0 to Version 15.5.0 under the host system openSUSE Leap 15.1.

The command:

Mozart:/tmp # export LC_ALL=C

followed by:

Mozart:/tmp # ./VMware-Workstation-Full-15.1.0-13591040.x86_64.bundle

did the job.

However I decided from now on to always keep a copy of the installation file of the last working VMWare version on my operating system.
