Problem with vmware-install.pl



I have installed Debiat Testing in VMware Player on 64 bit Win 7 Laptop.

All went well until I ran vmware-install.pl. Unfortunately I got an error message during the execution of the installer:

I installed v-7.3.0 on the same Laptop without encountering this error.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
