Ok boys and girls
I also tried this last suggestion
sudo find / -iname "vmware*" | grep -i uninstall | less

I do not have the file!

may be you can assume that i do not have it and tell me what to do to 
fix the problem witch is i can not install vmware-server. Because it 
detects that there is an old version installed.
