I used ls -a to look for it in /etc/vmware (and it's sub-directories) -- 
not there. Doesn't look like it's anywhere on the system:

[root at p733 chris]# find / -name vmware-uninstall.pl
[root at p733 chris]#

Will the one on the original CD (I have a store-bought copy) work or 
must the script contain installation-specific information?
