BUG - no internet connection - vmware-player is not an installed product - can not install Workstation while VMware Player is installed !

Because I had curiously not internet connection through vmplayer I decided to uninstall it.

But I can not uninstall it, because vmware-installer says that vmware-player is not an installed product (but i can get the version of vmware player !).

It looks like a bug.

And here VMware Workstation says that VMware Player is installed !

What should I do ?

uname -a :

Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2 (2016-04-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

version installed :

VMware-Player-12.1.0-3272444.x86_64.bundle

Lenovo Thinkpad x201

I solved the internet connection issue :   1) go to "File" -> "Player Preferences"-> "Connection Settings" -> select "No Proxy" -> "Close" -> "Download All Components Now". Enter the root password if asked.
                                                               2) if necessary : go to Virtual Machine Settings and select NAT.
