I just downloaded the latest version from the Web site and it worked
perefectly.

Thanks to all who helped on this issue.

However, how come VMware did not notify registered users of this update?

That's something you should ask VMware. =)

AFAIK they never do except when pushing a new non-free update.

Well this thread is pretty stale, but just wanted to note that I FINALLY
got a notice from VMware of the free upgrade to 4.5.2 a few minutes ago.
Sorry for bad-mouthing VMware, and I still do find their products
useful.  Better late than never I guess.
