Public bug reported:
The problem:
When double-clicking the executable
"VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.1-227600.x86_64.bundle" in order to install it I
get a "root access is required for the operations you have chosen." error
What I expected to happen:
I expected to be presented a graphical password prompt in order to type in my
password and start the installation.
What Happened:
I had to go execute it from the terminal in order start the installer, to avoid
the error mentioned in the problem.
When I thought that this might be a missing feature I submit the request in
ubuntu brainstorm but the moderator recommended to submit it as a bug or a
support request.
Points to note:
1. VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.1-227600.x86_64.bundle is a graphical installer
2. I have already ticked the "Allow executing file as program" in the
permissions tab when going to the file properties
System info: Ubuntu 10.04 64bit

Running an executable gives a "root access is required" error instead of
prompting for a password
