You made the wrong link. 
it should have been: 
cd /lib/modules/3.7.1-16-desktop/build/include/
( a 'ls' should show no file or directory named linux and two directories
called generated and config and a 'ls generated/uapi/linux' should show
version.h )
ln -s generated/uapi/linux
After that a 'ls linux' should show version.h

Which according to the version you’ll have to change this dir. Or simply use uname.

# ln -s /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r)/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r)/include/linux/

Something like this. By then the version.h will be fine, and located where it shoudl. Then to finish the compiling…

# sudo ​/usr/bin/vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

That should get it compiling right away.
