I'm going to cancel this, branch off "vmware-v12", and ask you to resubmit the merge there, as a development branch we can share. I'm waiting on my IT department to get me a VMware 12 license, and I can help test better when that comes through. |

I've been using this download, it seems to be free for personal use. Keep me updated on what you find out! |

Can you submit that merge to the new branch though, please? I just got workstation 12 installed, starting testing this week. |

Closes #12
DO NOT MERGE YET.
Vmplayer starts under the nvidia driver with this patch, but actually starting windows (my guest) seems to crash vmplayer. I'm not sure exactly why this is happening, but I want to fix it before this is accepted.
It seems to me that
/usr/lib/vmwareis hardcoded by the vmware installer, so this should keep working for everyone. Additionally, this path is hardcoded other places in the script.I needed to do this because the nvidia library is installed to the default location, but the vmware one is installed to the hardcoded one.
