• VMWare Tools installed and not installed...

  3.5.0u4 ESX3i

  I created a Ubuntu VM. Then I added VMWare tools via the settings / installation/upgrade of VMware Tools

  (in the "status, if reported panel installation has succeeded).

  Yet, when I look in the summary of this Ubuntu VM tab, it says:

  VMware Tools: not installed

  Why is it (a power power off of the virtual machine does not change it)?

  What you were doing just before the guest system the VMware Tools CD .iso image file. On the host Windows installation should start automatically. For Linux, you will need to mount the CD, copy the files from there to the directory and use the .tar and .rpm to install the tools.

• VMware Tools and the vMA

  Hello

  I noticed that VMware tools shows as obsolete for vMA 4.0. I ran the command ' sudo vima-implementation to date update "to update the vMA.

  The reason is that I need to install a script for our UPS on the vMA to stop customers automatic and host when AC power is lost and before that sinks in the battery, this script needs VMware tools running and I guess he wants to the most recent version.

  Anyone know if VMware tools is supposed to be a part of the updates? and if not can just download the rpm and execute it?

  Thank you

  John

  Vima-update is update patches on vMA and has nothing to do with VMware Tools. As long as VMware Tools is running, you will be able to make a stop of comments, it does not require the most recent version. The reason for which the tools of vMA is outdated is probably due to when it was released, the Tools version was the latest version and compatibility purposes, they kept to that. If you want tools to update, just right click on the VM and install VMware Tools.

• How to launch and use the VMware tools

  After installing 2008r2 as a virtual machine and install VMware Tools, I am unable to open the tools and use them.  I did two days of searching, and I can't find an answer to my problem.    Downstairs is an action I took, but I would appreciate any help from the community.

  Purpose:

  Laboratory at home training and certification.

  Hardware environment: (based on "Chris Wahl" home Build Lab)

  SuperMicro Motherboard MBD-X10SLH-F-O

  Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 3.30 GHz processor with 32 GB of ram

  Software environment:

  64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional, host operating system

  VMware Workstation 10 with all updates installed with administrator privileges

  VM #2: vSphere 5.1 install

  VM #1: The Windows 2008R2 VM I have a problem with VMware tools.

  I've deleted and rebuilt the two VM three times now, thinking it was my environment somehow.  ESXi 5.1 works although I have not built anything there yet.  I am able to access this part of the laboratory fine of vSphere Client.

  VMware Tools:

  Within the Services of VM 2008 I can see VMware Tools started service, the icon in the system tray notification area and see the files on the C: drive of the virtual computer, but there is no way to open it.

  I followed several links to create a virtual laboratory, but should not be this hard to run a program.  It's my first time that you try to use VMware tools, but I'm following the steps in the lab below install procedures.

  In the middle of the page of "Blog Editor" part 4 "build the ultimate vSphere Lab is where it installs the VMware tool and lowest after restarting Windows Update service I'm stuck to the next step."

  "Open VMware Tools, go to the Shrink ."  Click on the button of the prepare to shrink . »

  ?  How to "open the VMware Tools?

  Now on the path I have searched for and deleted and reinstalled the tools, but always without success.

  Here is a link where I found the following measures to be taken, but it doesn't work either.  The "NOTE" at the bottom, it's something I noticed and made sure was right when I installed the last time tools.

  I even found a link to where you can download the tools separately from the ISO files, and yet, it does not work.  A LITTLE HELP PLEASE!

  http://www.vdsyn.com/Windows-2008-R2-virtual-machine-VMware-tools-shows-not-running-current-after-vmotionsnapshot-operations-randomly/

  So next step that we did was
  1 uninstalled VMware Tools in the virtual machine
  2 restarted the VM
  3. manually deleted/renamed the C:\Program VMware Tools
  4. manually deleted/renamed C:\Programdata\VMware\VMware tools
  5 Rebooted
  6. install the VMware tools
  7 Rebooted

  The issue is not reproducible after the same

  
  NOTE: Make sure that the virtual computer CD player points to the correct image.  I found it always go back to the windows 7 iso image on my C: drive from physical machines to where the image 2008r2 was on drive E:

  No need to reinstall again. You're not missing something. VMware has changed the VMware Tools tray and removed options that were available in previous versions. Take a look at for example experience front of VMware: The VMware Tools GUI is gone - now what? with some information about this change and the replacement of the command line.

• VMware tools install question

  Hi all

  I recently installed vmware player 3.0.0.Build - 203739 and I now have a prompt of Win XP pro on my Win XP pro host.

  I initially had problems to get vmware tools to download whenever I was invited to download, the player said to me that he could not see the server (even if I was verifiable online).

  Today, when I walked into the virtual machine, I was prompted to download the tools and this time the download seems to start (at least, there is no error and the progress bar indicates the download worked).

  Current state, it's inside my VM menu, it says now "Cancel vmware tools installation"without doubt, implying that the installation is still progressing.  However, this message has been there for about six hours now.

  Can someone tell me if this installation is still ongoing, waiting or what?  I have to do something about that installation is complete?

  Thanks for your help!

  I met the same problem, but the tools got only downloaded and nothing more.

  In the status bar of the prompt, you see the logo of VMWare, but with a yellow triangle indicating that an upgrade of VMWare tools is available.

  If you see in the menu VM the words 'Cancel' and then do a "install VMWare tools". The changes are great that it works now. You just download VMWare Tools, but they must be installed by yourself.

• How to prevent the VMware Tools reset the size of my text on 4 k display

  Hello

  I use 12 Workstation on a Dell XPS 15 9550 with a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4 k).  I was able to move on virtual machines running Win 7 from another system where the virtual machines were running at a resolution of 1920 x 1080.  These virtual machines are now running at 1920 x 1080 on the Dell.  (I did it by using the VM settings > display and set a max and running full screen resolution).  The problem is that the text and icons are displayed at 150% the size. I can use the Win 7 Desktop > resolution to 100% and everything is the way I need it, but when I do this change, VMware Tools appears saying that I need to log out and back in.  If I do this the text/icons are at 150%.

  How can I get VMware Tools to stop the reset of this size from 100% to 150%?

  Thank you.

  Here is the solution:

  > Turn on the virtual machine.

  > Click VM > settings > select view.

  > Uncheck the option scale to display "automatically adjust the size of the user interface on the VM.

  > Disconnect and connect when VMware Tools invites.

  > You can now change the font size in the virtual machine to 100%.

  > Disconnect and connect.

• VMware Tools not settled in XP Pro Sp3 invited

  I think that VMware tools is supposed to install drivers for these (SCSI), which are of unknown devices in my device manager and Vga adapter but it crashes in normal and safe mode on my xp after manual installation running.  Have also tried to folder on the drive.

  Anyway to get these installed and get VMware tools running?

  Also MY XP hangs after logging in normal mode and in safe mode I get error blue screen after awhile 0X0000008E and similar.

  Yes I am the administrator also - I'm using the official XP administrator account (account first when it was setup) but still the problem.  There maybe some group policy or the registry thing/permissions setting (I have set permissions as approved for the application installer and still issue).  Don't know what else to try.  In any case thanks for trying to help.  Let me know if you think of something else.

  Hi I think that question could have been set by the combination of responses - I tried to configure the virtual machine through my windows 8.1 host VMWare converter standalone 5.5.1 - selection only add Vmware Tools (later) and remove restore points and after responsible for this virtual machine without register suspended or system crash or wedging.  VMware tools of the 6 worm drive was also loading and installation had to find setup.exe and run it from ISO loaded manually (when selected for the installation of the player window - Player - manage - install Vmware Tools).  However obtained related permissions errors and install the first roll back (see attached screenshots).  Then I loaded the regedit and set of local service, service network and administrator name real current user in its entirety with all permissions to access these key: HKLM system services and under software - perflib under Microsoft - Windows NT - current worm (although the latter do not know if it had to) - missed me the perflib key being added if it based on another doc help on the internet.
  Then restart may have helped also but Vmware tools installed without error and in Device Manager I also removed any? and unknown devices, but my SCSI and VGA drivers now loading properly.

  Thank you and thank all those who contributed to this issue - so seems a problem now solved.  Your answers have helped keep research regarding permissions and versions of vmware and reminded me to try to reconfigure etc. have been so helpful.  I hope that these positions help others facing similar problems.

• VMware tools are not installed

  I have vmware player v6 on a windows machine

  I installed windows 7 as a virtual machine on a windows computer, but I can't get vmware tools to install - because the installation process does not start.

  In the vmware window, I click on manage/player/install VMware tools and nothing happens, never. I get no start installation upward. So I tried also to start/run/D:\setup and I get "Please insert a disc into the dvd drive. It's so useless, nothing I will get the installer to start and after trawling google ages each page says the same thing, which is what I tried already and who never works. WTF |. I have to do to get the vmware tools installer to run?

  Edit: I also tried to download and tools-windows - 9.6.1.exe running and who has done sweet FA as well.

  If you are using VMware Player 6.0,1 on a Windows host and you want to install VMware Tools in Windows 7, then do what follows is workaround to which question you encounter that does not automatically download the VMware Tools.

  Tools-windows - 9.6.1.exe.tar on the host, not the comments, download and unzip it.  Then run the file tools-windows - 9.6.1.exe.  This (silently) installs VMware Tools for Windows (windows.iso) in the working directory of VMware Player.  You should then be able to install VMware Tools normally on the Menu, but if it doesn't work then fix the windows.iso of CD/DVD virtual machine and run the installation from the Windows virtual machine.

• Question about VMware Tools when upgrading of vSphere 5.1 to 5.5

  We are the vSphere upgrade 5.1 to 5.5. We have still a few virtual machines with obsolete tools VMware vSphere 4.  There problems upgrade to vSphere 5.5 and then upgrade VMware Tools on those virtual machines to the version 5.5?  Or should we upgrade VMware Tools version 5.1 first before doing the upgrade to vSphere 5.5? We need plan restarting downtime when upgrading to VMware Tools on those virtual machines and would rather not upgrade VMware Tools twice and planning two stops

  There is no problem, as vSphere ESXi 5.5 supports the VM running older versions of VMware Tools.

  This blog post explain this more in detail: is a vSphere VMware Tools upgrade required during the upgrade? VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

• Mountain Lion Kernel Panic at startup after installing VMWare tools

  Installed OS X Mountian Lion Preview 1 on Fusion today.   It installs successfully.  The VMWare Tools installed and rebooted.  Very early during reboot, the OS takes a Kernel Panic.  It will take the panic on a reboot or a stop and then turn on the power.   Is there chance VMWare updates VMWare tools to take care of the mountain to allow developers.

  Thank you

  Doug

  Hello.

  Fix. It installed, but Setup never ran for me either. I used the instructions drag / drop the installer of Lion in VMWare, etc..

  After installing it is glued to a weird connection window w / three buttons to control the State of computers together and an arrow to the left her isn't going anywhere.

  I have not found a way around it. At first I thought it was due to the installer of office and not the App on Mac folder. He moved. Judge again. Nothing. Stuck now.
