• Problem with VMWare Tools and the virtual drive

  Hello

  I installed the test version of "Workstation" and installed a windows 7 x 86 non-virtual DVD drive mapped, which is mounted on D:\.

  Subsequently, I installed all Windowsupdates and after that I tried to install the VMWare Tools.

  But every time I get the message that I should look on the 'virtual' drive on D:\.

  But there is no virtual drive, it is my DVD of the hostsystem.

  Is there a way to mount a virtual drive with tools or install them in another way?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You can directly install the VMware tool configuration by copying the setting in the machine and manually install the same.

  Try VMware on another machine tool in which you will get the installation... Copies on disk and then move it to your new VM and do a manual configuration.

• Install / / update VMWare Tools without physical disk drive

  Hello

  just installed VMWare Player, then Linux Mint 17 on my desktop pc and my laptop. Worked perfectly on my desktop pc, while on the laptop when I click on install vmware tools, nothing would happen. I guess this is because the laptop is not a physical drive so I can only add a CD/DVD drive with the .iso option and then VM Player cannot load the iso required for installing the tools. Anyway, I left my office laptop the source tarball and has installed but for some reason, the vmware interface settings player says I have to update my tools in order to use 3D acceleration. Once again... I can't install the update in the usual way for so I click on install, nothing happens.

  Any ideas?

  Was able to install successfully by using this

• How update the local copy of ESXi of VMware tools?

  Our two ESXi servers have version 8.0.1 of the VMware tools on the local drive (vmfs/volumes / < ID > packages/5.0.0/vmtools), but the current version is 9.0.

  Right now, I manually downloaded copies of the tools directly to the host of the virtual computer, but how to update local copy of ESXi disk? I was going to just crush the 8.0.1 files, but I noticed there is a manifest file as well, which contains a large number of version numbers and I didn't break anything. Is there a way with support update installers the?

  VM tools are retro-compatible, so it should work. I recommend however, as you will introduce a manual process you need to manage and I did not belive you will have any advantage by doing so. the complexity more you add, the greater the risk of things go wrong.

  I however would patch the hosts to the latest version and using the tools provided with this version.

  For more information on the hosts patching of the command line, see this link below;

• VMware tools msi package

  Hello

  Hoping someone can help me on this one.

  We have Esxi 5.0 and citrix XenDesktop 5.6.

  I know that if you install vmware tools on top of the XenDesktop VDA create you a world of problems because the VDA and vmware tools contain a video driver in the package.  The vmware SVGA driver overwrites the citrix driver, a nd the xendesktop stops accepting connections.

  The obvious solution would be to get a MSI of vmware tools and use an option do not to install the piece of the package SVGA driver. However, all I can find in the way of vmware tools for esxi 5.0 is an .exe file. Anyone know if there are for this verision msi package?

  * I have had no success in the extraction of an MSI to exe,.

• Update the VMware Tools without installing gcc

  Hello everyone,

  I have a couple of boxes Debian and Ubuntu (& gt; 100) in various race DMZ. When I am updating the linux kernel, I have to update the VMware tools as well. My problem is that these boxes are not allowed to have an Internet connection and an installed gcc.

  Does anyone has an idea how Handel who? Is it not possible to have a central host where the new version of VMware tools are compiled and one can distribute them to other boxes?

  Thanks in advance!

• Upgrade VMware Tools-hardware virtual FOV 7.0 Build 130927.1406

  Hello

  I tried to update the version of VMware FOV tools, but all that seemed to do is strip out...  Any ideas on how to retrieve and update, including the virtual hardware version also?

  Thank you very much.

  Alex.

  Hi Alex,

  Installation of the tools is a feature of vCenter and VMware would better understand if there is a problem with the installation.  Their support may be able to help solve the problem you are experiencing.

  That being said, I would like to offer assistance if I can.  I installed VMware tools in the same way that you have described.  In the past, if I had a problem installing, vCenter would let know me the reason why.  It would also seem that if tools have been "stripped" of the existing virtual machine.

  I suspect that something similar is happening in your environment.

  I can't be sure this link applies, but we found this VMware.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1001354

  VMware support should be able to help you further with the installation of the tools. Unfortunately, because it is not our product, I can only offer advice on how to solve the problem with the installation of the tools.

• Update the vmWare tools in VoP via vCenter

  I'm still new to this community and I hope I'll catch up here soon, but I'm not sure of the update process the vmtools on the device of VoP. I know once I spunt'sand he upwards and configured the IP etc, the vCenter as the tools were obsolete. Tonight is our night of patch management and we'd get VoP abreast, as far as tools go. What is the process to get this done? Do I just shoot vCenter or are there steps to perform on the server of VoP so.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hi David,

  You can update VMWare Tools on the device in the same way as you would for any virtual machine of OpenSUSE Linux.  This can be done manually from the console if vCenter may not withdraw that, alone.

  I hope this helps!

• Create a workflow to upgrade VMWare tools

  We have an alert to tell clients VMWare tools is out of date, can someone create a workflow that would allow them to begin the upgrade.

  ActionPack for VMware vCenter does not provide the necessary steps to create this workflow from including 5.5.8 release with vFoglight 6.5.1.

  We CAN fix this in future versions. Stay tuned.

• Virtual TP servers supported by VMware Tools

  Different telepresence servers that are not running Windows supports VMware Tools?

  Such as:

  • Conductor
  • Telepresence Server
  • VCS/Highway

  One of my server admins asked me, so that if a reboot is required, we could perform a graceful shutdown/reboot through the guest OS instead of coercive power off/power on.

  Patrick,

  The servers have their own flavor of the VMware tools installed within the application that allows to stop the virtual machines with elegance of in VMware.
