Install VMWare player. Fail to install vmnet and vmmon

[thedarkpassenger]

I try to install VMWare Player (VMware-Player-Full-16.2.4-20089737.x86_64.bundle) on Kali (last version)

The installation success, but when I want to use it, it's missing some modules. I click 'install', but it's failed It's seems is some config and preferences files..

There's the log :
