Hi again vmwarers...in trying to wrangle a complete installation of VMware-Player-6.0.1-1379776.x86_64.bundle on my Debian/Jeesie system. I seem to have lost a critical piece !
Installer gives message:
Extracting VMware Installer...done.
Installer log says:
[2014-01-22 19:19:12,134] Installer running.

I believe the program should be in "/etc/vmware-installer, or vmware-tools"
I'm guessing it's called "apploader" , but mine has disappeared ? Running the bundle multiple times does not provide a new one ?
Does anyone have any suggestions ? Maybe someone could locate an equivalent file/app in their setup,
and copy/paste it in a reply. I could then plug it in here.
It's possible I'm actually missing a sub-directory.
The directories that I do have:
/etc/vmware
/etc/vmware-installer
/etc/vmware-tools
/etc/vmware-vix
/etc/init.d/vmware
/etc/init.d/vmware-USBArbitrator
/etc/modprobe.d/vmware-fuse.conf
So far have tried:
(1) tried recovering files with ext4magic
(2) tried install of earlier 503 version
(3) tried fresh install of 601 version
Still says missing App Control
Seems like if it's missing the install should replace anything missing ?
