Since upgrading to curl-7.29.0 trying to start VMware Workstation results in UI crash. Looking at /tmp/vmware-<user>/vmware-ui-<PID>.log I noticed the backtrace contained some curl symbols. I noticed I recently upgraded curl to 7.29.0, so I downgraded curl to 7.28.1 and this fixed the vmware workstation UI crash.

Could you post the relevant parts of that wmware-ui log, please?

Created attachment 338470 [details] vmware-ui log of the crash
There's a workaround at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33779?project=1 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libcurl.so.4
I cannot apply the arch patch, I couldn't find that shell script. Anyway, starting vmware works using this: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libcurl.so.4 vmware I hope it helps someone until it's fixed.

This appears to be a curl bug, rather than a vmware bug. Marking as a duplicate of bug 456842. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 456842 ***
