OpenSuse 12.3 and VMWare Desktop 8 -- will this work?

I currently have VMWare Desktop 8 installed on an OpenSuse workstation.  I recently upgraded to OpenSuse 12.3 which broke my installed VMWare desktop.

I've been reading through some of the discussions of this issue and have made sure I have all of the required kernel files for 3.7.10.1.4 and have added a link to the correct version.h file.

When I start VMWare Desktop 8, it displays a pop-up:

"Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel."

I select the Install button and the prompt changes to:

"Su returned with an error"

At this point, I'm stumped.

This is the contents of my version.h file:

TP61:/lib/modules/3.7.10-1.4-desktop/build/include/linux # cat version.h

#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 198410

#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))

Any suggestions?
