I looked here....

https://www.vmware.com/products/workstation-pro.html

Also,
http://store.vmware.com/store?SiteID=vmware&Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&productID=5124968900

VMware Workstation Pro runs on most 64-bit* Windows or Linux host operating systems:

Windows 10Windows Server 2016Windows Server 2012Windows Server 2008Windows 8Windows
7UbuntuRed Hat Enterprise LinuxCentOSOracle LinuxopenSUSESUSE Linux Enterprise Server

I do not see any mention of Fedora.

Where is your information from Vmware that they support F26 as a Host O/S?

Simple.   As far as I can tell, see the above link, F26 isn't supported as a Host O/S
platform  And even if they were you're talking about an application that isn't
connected with the Fedora Project.  So, Fedora Project has nothing to do with making
sure a 3rd party app. works.

Now, since Vmware Workstation, that is what you have right, is a purchased product
you should be opening a trouble ticket with them.  I'm retired now, but the company I
worked for used VMware products and we had trouble with them back in the RH5.0 days
(we also bought and paid for Red Hat Support).  We found them very responsible.

Like I said, please tell me where VMware lists Fedora as a supported platform.
