VMWARE TOOLS安装提示THE PATH IS NOT A VALID PATH TO THE GENERIC KERNEL HEADERS

！I solved this problem, I guess.     

Perhaps the version.h does not exists at 3.8.0-29-generic/include/linux directory.

First, make sure install build-essiontial and linux-headers.

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

And then,

sudo -i    
cd /lib/modules/3.8.0-29-generic/build/include     
cp ./generated/uapi/linux/version.h linux/version.h

and then,

  
$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl

...    
Enter the path to the kernel header files for the 3.8.0-29-generic kernel? /lib/modules/3.8.0-29-generic/build/include     
...     
Done!

  
This may helpful to you...
