Concerning your question: It appears that you might be dealing with a XY problem. Could you please remove the `vmware-workstation` package and install it manually by means of makepkg and pacman? Also, don't forget about the maintainer's pinned comment:
These forums are for Arch Linux x86_64 ONLY. Not Antegros, or Apricity, or Manjaro, or any of the "easy Arch installers", nor Arch-ARM; nothing other than vanilla 64-bit Arch Linux. Ask those communities for support. If you have installed Arch, please read the rules before posting. README: Forum Rules.
