Error: "This program is not executable"

Details

When I try to run the downloaded VMware binaries on my Windows host, I get an error message that the program is not executable. What is wrong?

Solution

The distribution file header has become corrupt. Delete the file and download it again. If the problem persists while running the file you just downloaded, try downloading the file with a different Web browser.
