I'm having a little problem installing VMWare on my desktop: I was able to Download the software, and I began to run commands on my terminal. I was successful until I ran the installer. Here's the syntax to the problem... In which directory do you want to install the documentation files? [/var/lib/vmware/doc/vmware] The path "/var/lib/vmware/doc/vmware" does not exist currently. This program is going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want? [yes] Unable to get the access rights of source file "./vmware-vix/bin". Execution aborted. Is there something I'm doing wrong when I run the installer?
I guess you will have to run the installer as root user. Open a shell, run "sudo su -" and then run the installer again in that shell.
