In my notes....

    *  Uninstallation failed and reinstall won't work
      ====
      A previous installation of VMware software has been detected.
      The previous installation was made by the tar installer (version 3).
      Keeping the tar3 installer database format.
      Error: Unable to execute "/usr/bin/vmware/vmware-uninstall.pl.
      Failure
      Execution aborted.
      ====

        Look for the /etc/vmware directory and either move it to a different 
location or remove it altogether.
        Code:

        sudo rm -R /etc/vmware
