How to uninstall VMware player in linux

When I start the installer for VMware workstation it says that I have to first uninstall VMware player. But how can I do that? It's not like I installed it with apt-get. I downloaded the .bundle file from the website, so I don't know of any automatic way to uninstall it so that the workstation installer will stop complaining.


Solution 1:

Run this as root:

vmware-installer -u vmware-player

Solution 2:

In case, no PRODUCT is mentioned as vmware-workstation, check for vmware-player
Run vmware-installer -u vmware-player as root.

It worked in my case.
