Anybody else have the same experience? Any idea what I did wrong?


Hey Matthew,

My upgrade went smooth as did a fresh install I did last week of that
RPM....

I believe the vmware-config.pl script is the one responsible for
creating said .desktop files. The second question of that script asks
where to install the desktop files and the default on my system
is /usr/share/applications which I kept, and I have both icons.

Did you, by any chance, abort a subsequent running of vmware-config.pl?

Nope.

Let it run through and the icons should be back....

Didn't work the first time.

Reinstalled, reran the script, but this time did not install vmware-any-any-104 patch. Now all is well, except that the patches are missing (if there are any that are needed).
