How do I uninstall after a bad install ?

[OralDeckard]

I installed the VMware Player RPM on a Fedora 8 system. All looked like it went well, until I tried to run it.

I told it /usr/bin/vmware, and got:
bash: /usr/bin/vmware: No such file or directory

I tried uninstalling it,
rpm -e vmwareplayer

only to be told
error: package vmwareplayer is not installed

So I tried installing it again, only to be told that it was already installed.

So I located vmware:
locate mvware

and got this:

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.so
/usr/share/doc/selinux-policy-3.0.8/html/apps_vmware.html
/usr/share/hwdata/videoaliases/vmware.xinf
/usr/share/man/man4/vmware.4.gz
/usr/share/selinux/devel/include/apps/vmware.if
/usr/share/selinux/devel/include/apps/vmware.xml
/usr/share/selinux/targeted/vmware.pp
/var/cache/vmware

This shows that something happened when the installation was done, but I cannot tell from this where to adjust something so I can try again.

Any help will be very much appreciated.
