VmWare Tools segmentation fault(core dumped)

Question

I am using VM player 16.2.4 build-20089737. My problem is VM tools does not installing on my machine, I am getting segmentation fault every single time. I cannot use shared folder, copy panel etc. even worse I have strange network problem, I think those are because of VM tools issue too. I can't do anything until fixed.. I did tried to restart VMware services and manually install open-VM-tools but did not work. I need help folks... Here is the information and logs;

VM player version: 16.2.4 Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04 Kernel version: 5.15.0-46-generic
