[Solved :-[ ]Vmware payer: Never seen this before

[Fintan]

I had to reinstall my Lucid a few days ago (too much playing around).

I have installed vmware player a zillion times but never came across this:
I got the latest bundle from here:
http://downloads.vmware.com/d/detail...QlJSpiZGVkZA==

The installation went without issue.

Starting vmware player from k->system does nothing.

From terminal:

fintan@fintanws2:~$ vmwareplayer
vmwareplayer: Befehl nicht gefunden
fintan@fintanws2:~$

I tried reinstalling but the installer tells me the latest version is installed.

The CLI command is vmplayer, not vmwareplayer.

From the Linux command line, type <path>/vmplayer, where <path> is the appropriate path on your
system to the VMware Player executable file. To run VMware Player process in the background, type
<path>/vmplayer &.
