Can anyone suggest how to solve a problem of Installation VMTools?

Installed VMPlayer 3.0-12 2010, but do not think I have VMTools.  When you try to install VMTools, get this message, "the VMware Tools installation cannot be started manually easy install is in progress. Don't know how to solve /finish easy install or check if VMTools is actually installed.

I've been running linux Unbuntu (Karmic Koala) as the operating system called Windows XP, SP3 and the recent difficulties in file sharing.  Hoping VMTools will help with file sharing.

When I followed the instructions (tar zxpf mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-8.1.4-227600.tar.gz), I get the following:

You do not follow the instructions correctly.

You should not change in the directory/media/cdrom1.

You should be changing in the directory/tmp, and then run the command "tar zxpf mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-8.1.4-227600.tar.gz".
