    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!

    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)

    Ok, I did all that, and this is the error I get when trying to install linux headers:

    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
    linux-headers-4.4.0-kali1-all-i386 - All header files for Linux 4.4 (meta-package)
