To install WSX in Linux:
First get the latest version of WSX from vmware , then
Log in to the host using the account that you use to run Workstation.
Change to root. For example, run the command: su root
Note: The command that you use depends on your Linux distribution and
configuration.
Change to the directory that contains the WSX installer .bundle file.
Run the installer from the host system. For example, run this command:
sh VMware-WSX-XXXXXXX.bundle
Where XXXXXXX is the version and build numbers.
Follow the prompts and complete the installation.
Execute the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/vmware-wsx-server status
If it is running then, using a browser, go to: http://localhost:8888/, there you need to input your system username and password. Afterwards you need to add ESXI server address to access your virtual machines.

Could you please post text files, dialogue messages, and program output listings as text, not as images? To achieve the latter two you can either 1) select, copy & paste the dialogue text or terminal content or 2) save the program output to a file and use that. Longer listings (the editor will tell you what’s too long) should be uploaded to a pastie service and linked to in the question. Thanks.
