    Hi, i did follow step by step this guide with no problem until i tried to install VMware-server, after i unpacked the .tar.gz file i tried to run the installer ang get the following error:

    A previous installation of VMware software has been detected.


    Execution aborted.

    Check whether you installed already your VMware software or try to uninstall it.

    Hope it works. :)

    Did you maybe install VMware Player? You can only have VMware Player or VMware Server, but not both of them.
