how to uninstall VMware Workstation from Slackware64-current?

Question

I'm trying to uninstall VMware-Workstation 7.x from Slackware64-current to install VMware-Workstation 8. When I run the bundle installer, it tries to uninstall version 7 before attempting to install version 8. But uninstallation process dies out. Since I've don't have version 7 installer at hand, I've attempted using the provided uninstall script with the following syntax as root:

vmware-installer --console --uninstall-component=vmware-workstation

It goes up 34% and closes. Then I try

vmware-installer --list-components

And v.7 is still there!

Ideas are welcome!
