Issues with VMware 8 wont run Kernel 3.8 wont let VMware 8 & 9 work

When I try to launch VMware workstation, I get the following error:

Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the kernel CANCEL / INSTALL

No errors, when I select INSTALL nothing happens just closes.
I install manually:

sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-dev open-vm-dkms open-vm-toolbox open-vm-tools-dev

But already installed to the latest versions.
I will start a bounty to fix this.
Ubuntu 13.04 64bit

pst007x@pst007x-Serval-Professional:~$ uname -a
Linux pst007x-Serval-Professional 3.9.0-030900-generic #201304291257 SMP Mon Apr 29 16:58:15 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have uninstalled and reinstalled all components, but same problem.
I have tried a different Kernel, but end up with the same problem.

Tried this as suggested: here

#!/bin/bash
cd
cp -prn /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source-backup
mkdir fixed
cd fixed
find /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source -name "*.tar" -exec tar xf '{}' \;

## add missing header on kernels
sed -i '/#include "compat_wait.h"/a\#include "compat_sched.h"' vmnet-only/vnetUserListener.c
sed -i '/#include "compat_page.h"/a\#include "compat_sched.h"' vmci-only/include/pgtbl.h
## comment out an invalid definition
sed -i 's|\(extern void poll_initwait(compat_poll_wqueues \*);\)|//\1|' *-only/include/compat_wait.h

tar cf vmblock.tar vmblock-only
tar cf vmci.tar vmci-only
tar cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
tar cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
tar cf vmppuser.tar vmppuser-only
tar cf vsock.tar vsock-only

cp -p *.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source

cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux
ln -s ../generated/autoconf.h
ln -s ../generated/utsrelease.h
cd

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

# clean up
cd
rm -rf fixed
cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux
rm autoconf.h utsrelease.h
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/
rm -rf source-backup
cd

Didn't work, results of script in terminal:

How to Upgrade Wine from the Older version to Wine1.5 on uBuntu

I am new to Wine and anything like it. I want to run the application "ATCS Monitor". When I installed ATCS Monitor I received an error message:

C:\windows\system32\wshom.ocx

Unable to register the DLL/OCX: RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x1

-From Terminal-

err:typelib:sltg_get_typelib_ref Unable to find reference
err:module:import_dll Library ScrRun.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wshom.ocx") not found

I can get through it by just ignoring it but I then have errors in ATCS Monitor.

First, upgrade to Wine 1.3.35. Wine 1.2.3 is almost a year old and is
missing some very important updates.

Second, do a search for the file in the directory $HOME/.wine I suspect
that either it is not there or it is in the same directory as where the
program installed. ...

Ubuntu and Ubuntu derivatives (such as Kubuntu) obtain software from packages which are stored in repositories. Ubuntu's default repository includes Wine, however if you want to stay up to date with the latest Wine package you can use WineHQ's by following these instructions.

Adding the WineHQ PPA Repository:

Open the Software Sources menu by launching the Ubuntu Software Center and selecting Edit->Software Sources. Choose the Other Software tab and click Add.

Software Center->Edit->Software Sources->Other Software

Then, copy and paste the line below.

ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

Warning: Beta packages

The 1.5 packages here are beta packages. This means they will periodically suffer from regressions, and as a result an update may break functionality in Wine. If the stable 1.4 Wine version works for you, then you may not want to use these beta packages.

Installing Wine:

Once you have added the WineHQ PPA Repository, you are ready to install.

To get the most recent Wine 1.5 beta, click this link to install the wine1.5 package.

To install the older, stable Wine 1.4 version, click this link to install the wine1.4 package.

Upgrading to a new version of Ubuntu

If you are upgrading the entire system, such as going from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04, you will need to come back to this page and add the repository again. The built in update manager will not switch the Wine repository automatically.

Alternative Command Line Instructions for Installing Wine:

It is also possible to add the Wine PPA and install via the terminal. This may be useful on Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and other Ubuntu derivatives.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

Then update APT package information by running 'sudo apt-get update'. You can now install Wine by typing 'sudo apt-get install wine1.5'.

If you'd like to browse the PPA manually, you can visit its Launchpad page.

Using Virtual Ethernet Adapters in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux Host

VMware Workstation does not allow the virtual Ethernet adapter to go into promiscuous mode unless the user running VMware Workstation has permission to make that setting. This follows the standard Linux practice that only root can put a network interface into promiscuous mode.

When you install and configure VMware Workstation, you must run the installation as root. VMware Workstation creates the VMnet devices with root ownership and root group ownership, which means that only root has read and write permissions to the devices.

To set the virtual machine's Ethernet adapter to promiscuous mode, you must launch VMware Workstation as root because you must have read and write access to the VMnet device. For example, if you are using bridged networking, you must have access to /dev/vmnet0.

To grant selected other users read and write access to the VMnet device, you can create a new group, add the appropriate users to the group and grant that group read and write access to the appropriate device. You must make these changes on the host operating system as root (su -). For example, you can enter the following commands:

chgrp <newgroup> /dev/vmnet0

chmod g+rw /dev/vmnet0

<newgroup> is the group that should have the ability to set vmnet0 to promiscuous mode.

The command to run vmware workstations ads root is simple: user@user#:~$ sudo vmware start

If you want all users to be able to set the virtual Ethernet adapter (/dev/vmnet0 in our example) to promiscuous mode, run the following command on the host operating system as root:

chmod a+rw /dev/vmnet0

md5sum.exe introduction

After you download all the Shorten (.shn) files for a particular disc or show, you want to verify that the files are not corrupted or otherwise unusable before you burn them to disc or host them on your file server. We do this by checking the downloaded Shorten (.shn) files against an .md5 file. An .md5 is a simple text file that contains a "fingerprint" of each Shorten file.

When you perform an md5 check, you are comparing the fingerprint from the files you downloaded to the fingerprint of the files on the server you downloaded from. If the md5's (fingerprints) match, you have an uncorrupted Shorten file.

md5sum.exe - 48KB 88170 Downloads since 9/29/00

Windows 95/98/Me: Download md5sum.exe to c:\windows\command

Windows NT/2000: Download md5sum.exe to your c:\winnt\system32

Open an MS-DOS window and go to the directory of the show you want to check. When you are in that directory, type:

md5sum -c [filename].md5

You must insert the name of the .md5 file [without the brackets]. Below is an example of a successful md5sum check:

On the other hand, if a track does not pass the md5check, you will see the following:

If any Shorten files do not pass the .md5 check, you should delete the offending file(s), and try re-downloading. Then run the .md5 check again. The file(s) should now pass the .md5 check.

If the same files fail an .md5 check more than twice, you should contact the FTP Siteop you downloaded the files from and let them know what tracks are giving you a problem. They may be hosting a corrupted track without knowing it.

Open an MS-DOS window and go to the directory of the show you want to create an .md5 file for. When you are in that directory, type:

md5sum *.shn > [filename].md5

NOTE: You must insert the name of the .md5 file [without the brackets]. Example:

md5sum *.shn > ph94-06-26d1.md5

An .md5 file will be created and placed in that directory. Please remember to adhere the etree.org naming scheme when naming .md5 files!

Please remember to always .md5 check your Shorten files before burning!

Special thanks to bruce@gridpoint.com and the PCP community for compiling this special version of md5sum. Documentation and graphics by Mike Wren.
