That VMware bundle can't be installed with apt-get
. It's its own standalone installer package.
Run chmod +x
on the bundle, then execute it with sudo ./VMware-Player-*.bundle
This is the only way to run the VMware installer, as it is NOT an apt
compatible package, but its own installation package that runs itself on its own.

You need to give installer permission to execute and run it.
chmod +x Vmware-Player-15.0.2-10952284.x86_64.bundle
Now you would be run it.
./Vmware-Player-15.0.2-10952284.x86_64.bundle
That only works on Debian packages, not VMware's.bundle
installers as they are not Debian packages.
