If anyone can get VmWare-Workstation 7 installed on
Debian (Testing/Sid), I would very much like to hear your story. Thanks a lot.
I installed it last week, v7.1.2. I had no trouble, worked like a charm. Just invoked the installer. I did invoke it as root. I really can't be more helpful, because I paid no serious attention to it. Windows 7 64-bit runs perfectly with it. I have the full tool chain and the full kernel headers and full kernel source installed. I couldn't install some of the features because I don't have Eclipse installed, but I doubt that has any bearing on your situation.
