By default, you cannot use wheel of mouse on Ubuntu on VMware.
You should configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
First, check your mouse setting in /proc/bus/input/devices.

$ more /proc/bus/input/devices

.

.

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0005 Version=0000

N: Name="ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse"

P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0

S: Sysfs=/class/input/input3

H: Handlers=mouse1 event3 ts1

B: EV=7

B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

B: REL=103

Change your mouse “Driver” and “Device” in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Original:

$ sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

.

.

Section "InputDevice"

       Identifier      "Configured Mouse"

       Driver          "mouse"

       Option          "CorePointer"

       Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"

       Option          "Protocol"              "ps/2"

       Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"

       Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"

EndSection

Change it like:

Section "InputDevice"

       Identifier      "Configured Mouse"

       Driver          "mouse"

       Option          "CorePointer"

       Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"

       Option          "Protocol"              "imps/2"

       Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"

       Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"

EndSection
