I recently upgraded from Fedora 22 to Fedora 23 and can no longer run VMware Workstation 12.0.1 Player.
I have tried uninstalling the component using sudo vmware-installer --uninstall-component=vmware-player and then reinstalling it to no avail. The installation is always successful, but when I try to launch the application, it spins for a little while then gives up. I tried uninstalling it again removing the previous configuration, but this still doesn't work.
I'm running
Fedora 23 Workstation
Linux kernel 4.2.6-300.fc23.x86_64
GNOME Version 3.18.1
