I had 12.5.6 and I now have 12.5.7 running on 4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64. I
use it to run a Windows 10 64-bit creator updated VM. 

I ran into two problems with "out of the box" VMware Workstation:
1.  I needed to compile and install two modules manually
2.  A library was missing (found by running "strace -o /tmp/debug.txt
vmware"
     and looking at the end of what's in debug.txt)

I wrote a shell script to handle #1. I can't remember what the missing
library is for #2.

Post what's happening and I bet we can figure it out.
