Does anyone have VMware Workstation Pro 17.5.0 running with any of the

I'm having a hard time getting it to run with a Fedora 38
installation. I'm fully updated as of 2 days ago, including the 6.6.9
kernel. When I try to start Workstation directly after VMware
installation I get a popup saying that the kernel-headers package for
kernel-6.6.9 is missing and so it can't build some modules. the problem is that
the kernel-headers package for 6.6.9 is missing from Updates. The latest package is
for 6.6.3.
That sounds like a broken build system. The kernel-headers package doesn't get updated for every kernel if they haven't changed.
Have you tried using qemu/kvm instead?

I haven't.
I've been living in a certain closed country for the past several
years and sadly haven't been able to update either my Fedora system
or my Linux "praxis". I'm very rusty.
Having returned to America, I did a fresh install of Fedora 38 from
Fedora 30 (don't laugh :-)) on which VMware 15 worked flawlessly.
Tweaking the system to get things the way I ran F30 has taken all my
meagre brain cycles. :-) Lots has changed since F30!
Now I'm trying to get the newest VMware to work. Changing to qemu/kvm
(I barely know what they are) seems daunting, especially as I need for
the Windows 7 guest to run as it did under VMware. I no longer have
the installation disks for Windows or Office 2013 (both "pro"
editions), nor the mathematics macros I installed in PowerPoint. So
re-installation isn't possible. Staying with VMware seems the right
road for now.
