The vmware-any-any-update115 uses a script getversion.pl to determine for what version of VMware the vmmon module should be built. It calls:
vmware -v < /dev/null 2>&1
to determine the version. Unfortunately, if you have not run vmware-config.pl before (which is impossible since the vmmon won't compile...), the command errors out saying that vmware-config.pl has not been run. In the process, it does not actually give the version.
So, the first time vmware-config.pl is run, it builds the module for the wrong version. The second time, the above command works, since everything is configured now, and builds the module with the correct version.

Clik here to view.
