I just installed Ubuntu 19.10 on my desktop. I am trying now to install VMWare Workstation but I keep getting error messages: sh: 0: Can't open VMware-Workstation-12.5.6-5528349.x86_64.bundle

Please can someone help me?

You need to make sure you have given executable permission to the .bundle file. Go to the folder in which the .bundle file is present, run the command chmod +x VMware-Workstation-12.5.6-5528349.x86_64.bundle. Now, run the installer using ./VMware-Workstation-12.5.6-5528349.x86_64.bundle
