i didn't find  [modules] directory in [/tmp/vmware-root-1414515415]

i create [modules] directory manually inside [/tmp/vmware-root-1414515415]
then i extracted
tar xvf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar -C [/tmp/vmware-root-1414515415/modules]
tar xvf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmci.tar -C [/tmp/vmware-root-1414515415/modules]

finally i run

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

and this is the result and [/tmp/vmware-root-1414515415/modules] and it's all contains are deleted

Please check the vmware forums. They might have updated the modules for new kernel versions.
