When trying to install vmware from the commandline, it returns this error:
Code:
mike@ubuntu:~/Desktop/vmware$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl
A previous installation of VMware software has been detected.
Failure
Execution aborted.
mike@ubuntu:~/Desktop/vmware$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl
A previous installation of VMware software has been detected.
Failure
Execution aborted.
I currently don't have vm-ware installed. However, when I look in synamptiv for vmware packages, one is installed (apparently by default) called "xserver-xorg-driver-vmware". If I try to uninstall that, it will uninstall "xserver-xorg-driver-all" as well, which I obviously don't want.
UPDATE: I noticed I have a vmware folder in my home directory from a previous installation. I removed that and it fixed the error above. However, now when I try to install, I get:

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, is some prerequisite missing?
