So I am using Ozone OS which is basically just fedora with a cool theme, and a lot less crap installed. I tried installing VMWare Horizon view client from here:

and then i renamed the file to vmware.bundle, when i make it runnable with:

chmod +x vmware.bundle

i ran the file using:

./vmware.bundle

this is what happens in my terminal

VMWare Horizon Client is an x86 application but you are trying to install it to an x64 Linux. To run this installation, you may need to install 32-bit runtime libraries. Do you want to proceed? (yes/no)yes Extracting VMware Installer...done.

but when i try going to the application menu, I can find VMware anywhere

There is really no such thing as ".bundle" files on Fedora. The only format for installable software on Fedora are RPM files.

All that this ".bundle" file appears to be, is the vendor's custom installation script, that's all. It's not any kind of a standard packaging format, of any kind.

You will be able to find a newly-installed application on your application menu only if the application correctly installed a .desktop file in the right location. If this installation script did not do so, you won't get anything in the application menu.

It is the application script's responsibility to install a .desktop file in order for the application to appear in the application menu.

try running /bin/vmware that is the default install location
