For those running Workstation on a Linux host. Here is a great script developed for updating the installer when you get a failure on the network stack kernel recompile.
In the script patch-module_3.2.0.sh replace the vmreqver=8.0.2 with vmreqver=8.0.3 and then run the shell script and the vmware workstation installation compiles.
Very Handy!
--update--
Testing the update against Workstation 8.0.4 (as the original installer still doesn't work) changing the script module again to 8.0.4 instead of 8.0.3 or 8.0.2 works.
As the script runs it also touches a zero bytes file named .patched in
/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
this file must be deleted before you can patch the system.
