Cannot install VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK - 5.0.0 on Debian

HI -.

I try to install the latest version of the SDK VMware Perl (VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-5.0.0-422456.x86_64.gz) on a Debian GNU/Linux "lenny" release.

root: / usr/local/nagios/vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib #./vmware-install.pl

Clearly the Setup is broken.

So, my question is - is the installer deliberately broken (IE, no support for Debian) or is it a perl error code that needs fixing?

Thank you

Chris

As William, he will not be supported, but you can use the SDK Software VMware Perl quite easily on any platform of Perl (I did it with window as well).  I did specifically on Ubuntu and OS X over the years.

Install the requirements of the module as shown in "vSphere SDK Perl Source Code installation on Linux".  In the source package, copy the folder VMware vmware vsphere-cli-distrib/lib/VMware/sharing of archive download Perl Linux SDK to your path to Perl.

For required modules, you can use PPM, CPAN or apt get the packages.

I ran this way for years without any problem, but this obviously isn't an official support statement

You should be able to simply do not put a proxy during Setup.  It's there in case it is necessary to download the module dependencies.

  • Cannot install VMware Tools on Windows 10

    Having trouble installing VMware Tools on a Win10 business VM (vSphere 5.5). Installation lance then anything beyond that never reports. Is there something special that needs to be done to make this work?

    -Thank you

    Also have installed the Update Manager plugin that reports the status of inconsistent compliance.

    When you install the tools, you choose the Interactive installation or the Automated one?

    Try the Interactive installation instead.

    I also have a second comment from Andrew on Firewall/Antivirus possibly block Setup.  Try turning it off.  In addition, you may have to disable UAC.

  • Cannot install VMWare Player, workstation or anything like that

    All appear to be the same way with a message like:

    VMWare.png

    However I've checked that the file exists and that I can access. What is the problem?

    I had VMWare Player 6.0.5 and could not install/update VMWare tools. So, I suspended my operating system prompted and rebooted VMPlayer. He told me that there is a new VMWare Workstation something 10.x and I wanted to upgrade to it. Okay, of course. Downloaded the update and tried to install. Said to uninstall VMWare Player 6.0.5. Being suspicious, I went and downloaded VMWPlayer 6.0.5 where he screwed up the installation of Workstation 10.0. Of course, he did. So I tried to install Player 6.0.5 so I could return to my suspended VM. In my opinion, what he said that I could not install because I haven't restarted. So I rebooted. Now, I can't install Player 6.0.5 or Workstation 10.0.0 or whatever it is. They all fail on the same way saying the cannot find a .msi file I can find and access.

    Help!

    BTW, you guys have far too much product and names making it confusing. What should I use? Player? Workstation? Spear? vCenter, Fusion. The list goes on and. Do not try to give me the list of "well it's for this reason and this other thing". The point is there are too many products and it is too complicated. If you want to tell me what the structure of the product is just limit it to the product I should use. I have a Windows 7 box and you want to run Ubuntu in a VM desktop - that's all...

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Please note that this is a forum for peer support and therefore, it is mainly users of VMware help other VMware users who make up the bulk of this forum. It is VMware employees responding in time in time, but in your case here (Note: VMware employees are recognizable because they have a small 'vm' next to their name logo)

    With regard to your current number. If you install VMware Workstation, then you have also installed VMware Player next.

    Even after the expiry of VMware Workstation, you can continue to use the free VMware Player.

    Hope this helps,

  • Cannot install VMWare tools on first installation of VMW Player for Windows

    Y at - it a tip to install VMWare Tools on VMW Player for Windows.  Tried as a Player 7.1.1 and 6.0.5.

    I downloaded the "darwin" and "windows versions" of tools with version management for versions of reader (for Player 6.05 6.05 tools).  But I don't know how to get VMWare to see downloaded files.  I connected the darwin.iso in the folder of the payload for the CD/DVD drive under settings of the virtual computer.

    I always get a dialog box with this message when I select install VMWare Tools in the menu:

    "Cannot find component on the update server. Contact VMware Support or your system administrator. »

    If you have the appropriate iso image attached to the guest, you have no need to use the "Install VMware Tools" menu - it's all that.  Go to comments and run the installation from the CD-ROM drive.

  • The question whether to install Wins 2012 R2 before installing VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.5?

    I'm new with VMware.  I have a DELL T420 server without an operating system in it.  I have a question, this first step, I need to install Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter to my server DELL T420, then the next step I will download the upgrade to VMware vsphere Hypervisor 5.5 2, is that correct?   I thank in advance for your advice.

    1. you must first download ESXi (hypervisor) and install it on your server.

    : Refer:vSphere 5.5 - How to install and configure VMware ESXi 5.5 - YouTube

    2. once the ESXi installation is successful, you can create a VM and then install windows 2012 R2 in this virtual machine as GOS.

    See:How to create a VM on a VMWare ESXi host using a VSphere Client - YouTube

  • Cannot install VMware Workstation on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit 11.1.1 - Please help

    You want to install VMware Workstation 11.1.1 on new 8.1 Windows Pro 64-bit PC.

    I had VMware Workstation 11.1.0, and deleted the original installer but did not finish the installation of the new version

    The installer gets about 2/3 way (progress bar) and then crashes, Windows Installer says Event Viewer hung.

    Race tried without firewall and AV, always not install question

    A ran the installer with / clean option and then tried again, but still he did not finish the installation process (crashes at the same place)

    Noticed in the Manager tasks that VMware Installer runs at about 14% of CPU, but nothing happens

    I'm really at a loss as to why I can't install VMware Workstation 11.1.1, all the other soft\ware settles very well.

    Please could someone help me?

    Thank you

  • Cannot install VMware Player 6.0.2 when username contains apostrophe

    I tried to install VMware Player 6.0.2 in a Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit o/s.

    I kept getting "Error in Script" (see image below).

    After some research, I found the cause of the problem.  This is because the user name contains an apostrophe.  In some countries, it is normal to have an apostrophe in the name, such as Joan of arc.  For the problem of confidentiality, I don't mention the true name in my case, so let's say it's Joan of arc.  In this problem, the path to "index.htm" is

    C:\users\Jeanne d'Arc\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware_xxxxxxx\index.htm

    Then I created another user name "Joan of Arc".  I used this new account to run Setup again and I didn't have the 'Script error '.  It is so clear to me that the apostrophe in user name (and therefore in the path of the file) has been the cause of the problem.

    I suspect that this problem can also occur for the installation of VMware Workstation.

    As a result of my post:

    This problem happens

    • VMware Player 6 and 7
    • VMware Workstation 10 and 11

    But it is FIXED in

    • VMware (Workstation) 12 player
    • VMware Workstation Pro 12

    Thumbs up!  VMware!
