For VMware Workstation 10 there's no patch needed.  Or at least I
haven't needed one.  I'm running Windows 7 in a VM with no issues.

I run Win7 and Win8 using libvirt straight out of the box on 64-bit F19
with no issues. Granted, I don't do anything fancy with Windows (I only
use it when the bosses hold a gun to my head and even then I protest a
lot).

I haven't moved up to F20 yet. It scares me a bit.

Well maybe VMware 10 is different? It was installed from VMware-Workstation-Full-9.0.2-1031769.x86_64.txt, bought from an on-line vendor that appeared to be legit. Harry Reindl seemed to know where to find the patch, never indicated it was unusual to have to do?

When I start VMware, from the XFCE menu, now I get only an error message block that says: "Before you can run VMware several modules must be compiled and installed in the running kernel, Cancel/Install" I can click on Install and nothing happens after that, just a bare desktop display, no activity on-line in my router real time display so it's not trying to download anything from them?

From the command line:

[bobg@box10 ~]$ vmware
Logging to /tmp/vmware-bobg/vmware-modconfig-4445.log
and then the same error message block pops up.

I used it to run F-20 beta and this released version for a while from F-19 before doing this F-20 install and each updated kernel required a patch, e.g. 3.10 to 3.11 to 3.12 etc.

Does that indicate a problem with my VMware install, am I unique? I bought it not expecting those problems and I believe they offer an upgrade for additional money which I would hesitate to buy knowing what I know now ... I would appreciate hearing that I've done something wrong, contact with their sales operation before I bought it was not productive. Still waiting for a call back many months later ...

Thanks,

Bob
