Just untar it? Okay, I downloaded (I think - it was only a coule hundred 
KB) and ran tar -xzvf. No difference in the problem. So, assuming there 
is something to run as well I tried...

[root at localhost brian]# vmware-any-any-update105/runme.pl
Updating /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl ... already patched
The file /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar that this script was 
about to
install already exists. Overwrite? [yes] yes

Unable to copy the source file ./vmmon.tar to the destination file
/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar.

Execution aborted.

[root at localhost brian]#
