fix: Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.

[AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support.

(process:3963): GLib-CRITICAL **: 09:14:28.208: g_file_test: assertion 'filename != NULL' failed

On 5.9.0-kali1-amd64, is the same:

[AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support.

After running this;

git clone -b workstation-15.0.2 https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git
cd vmware-host-modules
tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/

re-install the linux headers that are needed. I'm using Arch and have the yay package manager installed, so for me is;
yay -S linux-headers

then reinstall;
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

should then complete without errors

If you are in arch, uninstall that version and install vmware-workstation from the aur
