VMware-Player bumped today to vmware-player-4.0.1.528992. It installed fine but won't run complaining that the EULA.txt file does not exist. I masked this version and went back to 4.0.0.471780

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install new version
2. Run new version

Actual Results:  
GUI pops up saying the EULA.txt file doesn't exist.

Expected Results:  
Should just run

I just remembered that the version I'm using came from an overlay:

Possibly the bug report should actually go somewhere else? Or are overlay bug reports OK here?

Thanks. Upstream added a new component to their bundle, so the ebuild needed to be updated to extract that new component.

Thanks for your quick attention to this report. With the -r1 version everything seems fixed here on my end. I appreciate your help.

Cheers!
