Vmware Installation Issue - Mint 13 Kde

platform:


Linux Mint 13 KDE
Intel G620

Just downloaded 30 Day trial version of VMware Workstation 8.0.4 for linux (.bundle)

When running it for the first-time it does a kernel module update/compiling, then it reports this:

Unable to start services.See log file /tmp/vmware-root/modconfig-3015.log for details.

when i check the folder vmware-root, log file doesn't exist

i notice on the compiling part the Virtual Network Device has a ! on it while the others:
Virtual Machine Monitor
VMware Blocking Filesystem
Virtual Machine Communication Interface
VMCI Sockets
all have a green tick on them

anyone experience this before?

thanks for any help
