Ok, found a log at /tmp/vmware-root/setup-26614.log

Apparently the code was trying to "find a suitable PBM set"
What is that? 

libnetpbm10-dev - Graphics conversion tools development libraries and 
header files
libnetpbm10 - Graphics conversion tools shared libraries
libnetpbm9-dev - Development libraries and header files (v9)
libnetpbm9 - Shared libraries for netpbm (v9)
netpbm - Graphics conversion tools between image formats

thanks
