I am having the same after updating to Linux Mint 22. Using kernel 6.8.0-39
i found the solution git clone -b tmp/workstation-17.5.2-k6.9.1 https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules.git && cd vmware-host-modules/ && sudo make tarballs && sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ && sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

OK, I do not know, what I have done, but it worked for me! Thank you very much!

does it work for the latest version of VMware? im using VMware 17.6.1, Ubuntu Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, kernel Linux 6.8.0-49-generic it gives me Version mismatch with vmmon module: expecting 417.0, got 416.0. You have an incorrect version of the 'vmmon' kernel module. Try reinstalling VMware Workstation.
in version 17.6.1 workstation 17 pro personal use, dont need more this. When changing the kernel it rebuilds the files again.
in version 17.6.1 workstation 17 pro personal use, dont need more this. When changing the kernel it rebuilds the files again.
Worked! Perfect simple solution, thanks
in version 17.6.1 workstation 17 pro personal use, dont need more this. When changing the kernel it rebuilds the files again.
17.6.4 here with kernel 6.16.3 - vmware doesn't rebuild the files - fails - as is the norm
