I accidently downloaded and installed :
VMware-VIX-1.12.0-812388.i386.bundle which is an VMware VIX API for 32-bit Linux.bundle Installation file for 32-bit Linux
but i rather wanted this file:
VMware Player for Linux 32-bit.bundle Installation file for 32-bit Linux
Now i have downloaded the VMware Player for Linux 32-bit.bundle and it is successfully running in my PC that i downloaded from : https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/5_0
But i want to uninstall the package i installed earlier which is:
VMware-VIX-1.12.0-812388.i386.bundle
I tried to do so by using rpm command:
First i tried to query by using this:
rpm -qa |grep VM
but nothing came up so i thought beacuse the package was not a rpm one from which i installed this package that is why rpm is unable to show anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

It's possible that it isn't an RPM package but perhaps a case insensitive grep might find it...
rpm -qa |grep -i VM
rpm -qa |grep -i VM

Re: Trouble uninstalling a package
That doesn't look like whatever you installed used an RPM package.

Re: [RESOLVED] Trouble uninstalling a package
I found the command how to uninstall this product:
[code]
vmware-installer --uninstall-product vmware-vix
[/code]
Please mark it Resolved and please let me know that which vmware-player version is best for my linux i.e. CentOS6.3.
I tried running the latest version of vmware-player but it makes my PC hung and restarts the system with some weird error.
i need to run a .vmx file.
