@frail: I cannot reproduce your bug. Actually, I think this bug is not related to this package.
To verify that, install gksu package and start a graphical program with gksu (for example: "gksu nautilus"). If you have the same error, so your bug is not related to this package and is probably a bad configuration of your system. Search a solution on Google.
If gksu works, the problem probably comes from this package, but I have no idea how to solve it. Try to uninstall the package, remove /etc/vmware and /etc/vmware-installer directories if they still exist and reinstall the package.

I'm not sure if it's intentional although I'm unable to enter in my license key. Clicking the button opens a prompt:
"Failed to run '/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-enter-serial' -n 'VMware Workstation' -v '12.0' as user root.
Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file."
Anyone run up against this?

@jihem Thank you very much !!! I installed the package manually following the first link, thank you !
jihem commented on 2017-06-19 08:56 (UTC)
@jmboris: This is because yaourt creates packages in RAM (/tmp directory is by default in RAM for performance reasons) and the creation of this package needs a lot of memory. Several solutions:
- manually install this package outside /tmp (without yaourt, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages)
- change the directory used by yaourt to create packages (variable TMPDIR in /etc/yaourtrc)
- prevent /tmp to be used in RAM (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/tmpfs#Disable_automatic_mount)

@jihem Of course I did not try to reinstall the software, doh!
After a reinstall(I did a complete uninstall of Workstation first), everything is working again.
Thank you!
(I am running the 4.11.3-1 kernel)

@jihem yeah, I was having problems with compiling vmware modules from the official vmware workstation bundle. I thought, that this problem also affects this version of the vmware package. I'm glad that it doesn't.
jihem commented on 2017-06-07 06:10 (UTC)
@zelluz: Which kernel do you use? If you reinstall the package, do you have some errors on DKMS compilation?

Having issues compiling modules after upgradering to the latest version.

After the first installation, please:
1) install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s): linux-headers for default kernel, linux-lts-headers for LTS kernel...
2) reboot or load vmw_vmci and vmmon kernel modules (modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon)
3) Enable the services you need (using .service units to activate them during boot or .path units to activate them when a VM is started) :
vmware-networks: to have network access inside VMs
vmware-usbarbitrator: to connect USB devices inside VMs
