| Message-ID | <HTY1c-1GgB-9@gated-at.bofh.it> |
I am running Bookworm. I have installed VMWare-Player-Full-Bundle v-17.5.0, after checking that Debian still supports it. When I attempt running I get an error: Failed to execute command "@@BINARY@@" failed to execute child process "@@BINARY@@" (no such file or directory Suggestions for a solution will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D. https://insilicochemistry.net (614)312-7528 (c) Skype: smolnar1

What command, exactly? In any case, this is very clearly a failed installation. The @@BINARY@@ is a placeholder that should have been replaced by a program name (with or without a path) during the installation. Either you didn't follow the installation instructions correctly, or something went wrong during the installation, which you'll have to discover and fix before trying the installation again.

I don't doubt what you're saying. The installer reported that there were no errors. Obviously, it was wrong. -- Stephen P.

If the former, have you attempted the latter?
