This tutorial shows you how to completely remove the old VMWare Workstation player in Ubuntu 24.04 and Linux Mint 22.
I was trying to install the new VMWare Workstation Pro 17.6.1 today in my Ubuntu laptop. The official installer however told me to uninstall the old VMWare Player 17.5.0.0 first.
The problem was that wmware-installer somehow refused to uninstall the previous package, so I can’t get the new one installed! If you ran into similar issue, then this tutorial may help.
