VMware Workstation Install on Kali

Ok, I am running a full version of Kali on a laptop, and I want to install WMware Workstation 12 Pro ONTO Kali. Not VMware tools, this is not a virtual machine, just to clarify. I want to install it to connect to other ESXi servers and VMware tools machines that have shared VM`s.I went to the site, downloaded the version 12 *.bundle file, and installed. I get an error on launch:

Disregard whats in the box. I tried to create a symlink.

I did try to install linux-headers-generic, but it says they are unavailable.

Any ideas? I am running Kali 2016.1 x64

Thanks!

you can find all modules related to 4.3.0 amd 64 here

Make sure your sources.list looks like this:

root@kali:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates main contrib non-free

Run the following commands:

root@kali:~# apt-get update
root@kali:~# apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

I tried to do install the generic headers as well.

Thanks,

I am running Kali 2016.1 x64 too with the latest update
Here is my sources.list

root@kali:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
deb-src http://old.kali.org/kali moto main non-free contrib
root@kali:~#


by executing the following commands:

root@kali:~# apt-get update
root@kali:~# apt-get upgrade
root@kali:~#apt-get dist-upgrade

I was able to achieve WMware Workstation 12 Pro's installation.

you should have linux-headers-4.4.0 in your apt-cache like this:

root@kali:~# apt-cache search linux-headers-4.4.0
linux-headers-4.4.0-kali1-all - All header files for Linux 4.4 (meta-package)
linux-headers-4.4.0-kali1-all-amd64 - All header files for Linux 4.4 (meta-package)
linux-headers-4.4.0-kali1-amd64 - Header files for Linux 4.4.0-kali1-amd64
linux-headers-4.4.0-kali1-common - Common header files for Linux 4.4.0-kali1
linux-headers-4.4.0-kali1-686 - Header files for Linux 4.4.0-kali1-686
linux-headers-4.4.0-kali1-686-pae - Header files for Linux 4.4.0-kali1-686-pae
