Starting in May 2024, VMware Workstation Pro begin free for personal use and VMware Workstation Player is discontinued.
Annoyingly it does require multiple versions, a primary semver style version and a another number.
I'm unsure if scoop supports this style of versioning required, there isn't often another release under the same exact version number. Can maybe fudge this as "17.6.0-24238078" if it's supported?
I've made a brief attempt at this. One issue I'm facing is with how checkver functions.
VMware publishes an XML file with all the versions, but they're unfortunately not sorted in any particular order. checkver doesn't actually bother sorting the versions found by the regex check, it simply has a forward or backwards look up option, so finding the latest version isn't easily possible.
