Where did you get that file? The following URL (?):

I have suffered much negative reinforcement by attempting to use
software on Debian that is not integrated into the Debian APT ecosystem.
So, I avoid such software whenever possible.
Wen I tried to run the app using the run icon I got the error:
Failed to execute./update command "@@BINAR@@".
railed to execute child process "@@BINARY@@" (No sudh file or directory)
So, I uninstalled the program:
root@AbNormal:/usr/bin# ls vmwar*
vmware-collect-host-support-info vmware-license-check.sh vmware-networks
vmwarectrl vmware-license-enter.sh vmware-ping
vmware-fuseUI vmware-modconfig vmware-uninstall
vmware-gksu vmware-mount vmware-usbarbitrator
vmware-installer vmware-netcfg
root@AbNormal:/usr/bin# ./vmware-uninstall
You have gotten this message because you are either downgrading VMware
Workstation, Player, or VIX, or because you attempted to run either
vmware-uninstall or vmware-uninstall-vix.
If you are downgrading, please uninstall all newer versions first, then
install again.
The vmware-uninstall* scripts have been deprecated. Instead, please use
the vmware-installer.
Long form:
vmware-installer --uninstall-product PRODUCT
Short form:
vmware-installer -u PRODUCT
Where PRODUCT is one of vmware-workstation, vmware-player, or vmware-vix.
For a list of which products are installed, you may run:
vmware-installer --list-products
or:
vmware-installer -l
root@AbNormal:/usr/bin# vmware-installer --list-products
Product Name Product Version
==================== ====================
vmware-player 17.5.0.22583795

Do you have an sources.list(5) configuration line for VirtualBox?
