@rado84 You should never see this dialog appear because kernel modules are normally compiled automatically during the installation/update of the package (through a pacman hook).
I see I have forgotten to add instructions on a pinned comment, I will add it. Just follow the instructions of this comment (installing the correct linux header package, then load the kernel modules or reboot before starting vmware
). In this way, the kernel modules will be compiled with GCC without the limitation of version, and this dialog will never appear.

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
