Maybe you used 'sudo' while editing the .desktop file? 1) Check that the VMWare Workstaion .desktop launcher file it IS still at /usr/share/applications 2) If the file IS there, check permissions of it ('ls -laigh name_of_.desktop').
Make sure you have read and execute permissions, you might need to 'sudo chmod +rx name_of_.desktop')
