I downloaded a trial version of VMWare Workstation 6.5. I didn't see a tar or gz file, so I downloaded a ".bundle" file. At first I didn't know what to do with it, but then I read the contents of the file and discovered it was a shell script. Here are the first few lines of the file:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# VMware Installer Launcher
#
# This is the executable stub to check if the VMware Installer Service
# is installed and if so, launch it. If it is not installed, the
# attached payload is extracted, the VMIS is installed, and the VMIS
# is launched to install the bundle as normal.
So, I ran it by entering "sudo ./vmware.bundle" and it installed with no problem. Now, I want to uninstall it (as I found out that VMWare Server is FREE), but I can't find it at all under Add/Remove. In Synaptic, only three things show up (VMMouse input driver, VMWare display driver, and mouse device autodetection tool). Is there a good way to completely remove a program install in this manner (i.e. a program installed via a .bundle file)? I see a lot of vmware files under /usr/bin that I "could" delete manually, but I'd rather do a clean uninstall.
Thanks,
Andy
