CentOS 7 - not able to open vmplayer

I have CentOS 7 64-bit. I downloaded vmplayer bundle and vmplayer installed using following command

./VMware-Player-6.0.1-1379776.x86_64.bundle

It is installed successfully. Now when I try to open vmplayer on it, it does not load 'Virtual network device' and shows following error in terminal

Vmnet failed.  Cannot run the command build.

I installed open-vm-tools on it using the command

yum install open-vm-tools

But still, I'm not able to open vmplayer and still get same error

When I check the status of vmware through vmware service status, it shows

Vmnet module not loaded


When I check the status of vmware using vmware systemctl status, it shows

Jan 19 09:23:21 hostname vmware[30246]: Virtual ethernet[FAILED]
Jan 19 09:23:21 hostname vmware[30246]: VMware Authentication Daemon[  OK  ]
Jan 19 09:23:21 hostname systemd[1]: vmware.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
Jan 19 09:23:21 hostname systemd[1]: Failed to start SYSV: This service starts and stops VMware services.


If I try to run

VMware-modconfig - console - install-all

It gives me following error.

make: leaving directory ' / tmp/modconfig-2NfFeS/vmnet-only ' unable to install all the modules.

I'm not able to open VMplayer on centos 7, help me please to open it.

Thank you

Good today I downloaded 7 CentOS installed and updated.  I also installed gcc, kernel-headers and kernel-devel packages using the following command:

sudo yum-y install gcc-heads of the kernel kernel-devel

I then downloaded the file VMware-Player - 7.0.0 - 2305329.x86_64.bundle and made executable, then installed using the following command:

sudo./VMware-Player-7.0.0-2305329.x86_64.bundle

It installed fine and then I open VMware Player and created a virtual machine without any questions or problems during the installation, the application or by creating and running a VM running.

That said, it was a clean install with good updates more checking and installation of the prerequisites of VMware Player host OS using the default kernel missing.  If you are not using the default kernel then you will need to find and apply applicable third-party patches as appropriate, assuming that of VMware Player host OS required components are installed.  In other words if VMware Player to build modules then gcc, kernel-headers and kernel-devel package must be installed on the host operating system.

Also there is no file vmware - config.pl in my install either.
