Fedora 12 remove VMware-Player 3.0

finally i'm on fedora again and after quite some time of leaving the blog alone, i have decided to post on how to remove vmware player 3.0 on fedora 12 (gave me quite the trouble)

VMware-Player 3.0 installer from their website comes with a .bundle file as an installer for linux distros, a simple chmod +x file.bundle and sudo ./file.bundle will install

well, in my situation, installation process is messed up thanx to selinux (grr) so i decided to remove the package itself, at first i tried sudo yum remove VMware-Player as that was the command to remove vmware player 2.5.2 but 3.0 does not remove that way

i tried running the .bundle file again..but sadly it just displays that vmware is installed properly

after some time googling, i nearly gave up.

trying my luck, i looked around vmware's command and there's a vmware-uninstall command (damn)

when i run the command.

$ sudo vmware-uninstall

You have gotten this message because you are either downgrading VMware

Workstation, Player, or VIX, or because you attempted to run either

vmware-uninstall or vmware-uninstall-vix.

If you are downgrading, please uninstall all newer versions first, then

install again.

The vmware-uninstall* scripts have been deprecated. Instead, please use

the vmware-installer.

Long form:

vmware-installer --uninstall-product PRODUCT

Short form:

vmware-installer -u PRODUCT

Where PRODUCT is one of vmware-workstation, vmware-player, or vmware-vix.

For a list of which products are installed, you may run:

vmware-installer --list-products

or:

vmware-installer -l

so..i removed vmware-player by using sudo vmware-installer --uninstall-product vmware-player

...yeah, just as simple as that.. *sigh*

note to self : do disable selinux using easylife package before trying to install vmware again
