VMware Workstation 12.5.9 kernel update problems

I'm currently running VMware Workstation 12.5.9 build-7535481 on Linux Mint 18 kernel version 4.4.0-145-generic.

I had a pop up for the VMware Kernel Module Updater and tried to Install. Obviously, without the install I can't use the software. I've been trying to fix it for days without success. I have pasted the log out put below. Please help. I don't want to buy another license for a new version. Smiley Sad
