Re: VMware Installer could not shut down all running virtual machines ...

May I misunderstood mfelker and KB38 article but this solution worked for me:

1. Go in KB38 direct to #6 and remove all vmware startupscripts
   
   me@workpc:~# sudo rm /etc/init.d/vmware
   me@workpc:~# sudo rm /etc/init.d/vmware-USBArbitrator
   me@workpc:~# sudo rm /etc/init.d/vmware-workstation-server
   
   
2. reboot your computer
   me@workpc:~# sudo reboot
   
   
3. uninstall your old vmware installation
   me@workpc:~# sudo /usr/bin/vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation
   
   
4. download and install the updated version
   me@workpc:~# sudo VMware-Workstation-Full-9.0.1-894247.x86_64.bundle

thx for your help mfelker
