I've recently downloaded a package with .bundle extension. it's VMware-Player-6.0.3-1895310.x86_64.bundle. I want to install vmware-player, but when I open that, it opens with text editor.

First be warned, installing files from outside of Ubuntu repository may compromise the system. VMware is probably safe, but it still should be mentioned.

You need to change permission of the file to make it executable:
```
chmod a+x VMware-Player-6.0.3-1895310.x86_64.bundle
```

Start the file. You will most probably need root privileges to install VMWare, but that is not always the case. So in this case:
```
sudo ./VMware-Player-6.0.3-1895310.x86_64.bundle
```
