I am having trouble uninstall VMWare Horizon from my PC

I googled and found some commands to run on VMWare website:

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-Client-for-Linux/2012/horizon-client-linux-installation/GUID-9B5BE7D9-B4A9-4CBB-9534-7E65A813A751.html

According to website, I choose to run this command because I do not remember setting executable permissions on the installation file:

For uninstallation, if you have not set executable permission:

sudo env VMWARE_KEEP_CONFIG=yes \


sh ./VMware-Horizon-Client-YYMM-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.arch.bundle -u vmware-horizon-client

I changed the syntax based on the version and build I have on my VMWare Horizon Client application:

@OMN:~$ sudo env VMWARE_KEEP_CONFIG=no \

sh ./VMware-Horizon-Client-5.4.1-15988340.arch.bundle -u vmware-horizon-client

This is the output I got:

Then, I navigate to bin folder and run vmware-uninstall this is the output I got:

@-OMN:/bin$ vmware-uninstall
You have gotten this message because you are either downgrading VMware
Workstation, Player, or VIX, or because you attempted to run either
vmware-uninstall or vmware-uninstall-vix.

If you are downgrading, please uninstall all newer versions first, then
install again.


The vmware-uninstall* scripts have been deprecated.  Instead, please use
the vmware-installer.


Long form:
      vmware-installer --uninstall-product PRODUCT
Short form:
      vmware-installer -u PRODUCT


Where PRODUCT is one of vmware-workstation, vmware-player, or vmware-vix.


For a list of which products are installed, you may run:
      vmware-installer --list-products
or:
      vmware-installer -l

Lastly, I ran vmware-installer -l, this is the output I got:

@-OMN:/bin$ vmware-installer -l

Product Name         Product Version

==================== ====================
vmware-workstation   16.1.2.17966106

This is build and version I currently have installed on Ubuntu 21.04 below:

  • What didn't or did work exactly? Your questions is very confusing. – ChanganAuto Oct 07 '21 at 01:43
  • @ChanganAuto i tried the links i provided in the article and it didnt work. When i searched in my ' bin' folder and ran 'vmware-installer -l' command to see if my system recognize Horizon client is installed. Ubuntu does not recognize Horizon Client is installed. I am trying to get Horizon Client removed – krillavilla Oct 07 '21 at 01:48
  • Did you adjusted the command to fit the specific version you installed? Were there any error messages? What happened exactly? This are the details missing in your question. Saying "didn't work" isn't useful. Please edit and post the exact commands used and the output in full in code tags. – ChanganAuto Oct 07 '21 at 02:04
  • @ChanganAuto i will adjust the question – krillavilla Oct 08 '21 at 00:54
