Vmware server install error

[stu]

Having tried to install Vmware server 1.0.5 on kubuntu i had an error flash up halfway threw the install stopping it from completing so today i went back to try install it again and I'm now being told that vmware is already installed, how would i track down and uninstall this partial install

 

cheers

are you using the ubuntu vmware deb packages or the tarball+install script downloaded from the vmware site?

[stu]

Vmware site!

The install script should offer to remove/upgrade the prior installation.

[stu]

when i run it threw perl it just states that there is an install of vmware already there and then stops doesn't give me the option to upgrade/re-install

Try:

/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl
