Would you please elaborate?  I have downloaded the aforementioned
patch but have been unable to get it to do anything useful.  Namely,
the thing expects to be run under linux and doesn't get very far:

	# ./runme.pl 
	Unable to open the installer database /etc/vmware/locations in
	read-mode.

	Execution aborted.

What would you recommend?
