Impossible to install VMware Tools in Fusion 2.0.2
Just migrated from Parallels 4 to VMware Fusion 2.0.2 (Build 147997).
Got the merger by download and imported the Parallels 4 VM.
With the help of Windows XP Professional on MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo (OSX 10.5.6).
Whenever I chose the Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools, nothing happens.
Just change the "Cancel installing VMware Tools" menu option.
Anywhere where I can download the file and install in my Windows XP or another option?
Help, please
When you choose Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools what happens is inserts ISO Image to VMware tools appropriate in the CD/DVD of the merger and Windows if the Auto-Insert Notification does not work then you must manually run the
Note: These ISO Images are stored at: "/ Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/isoimages. If needed you can manually mount the image appropriately, if necessary.

Impossible to install VMware tools in Win 2012 R2 guest
Hi all
just upgraded merger 7.0.1 for 7.1.0 because I thought that he could solve this problem:
After you have configured the client Win 2012 R2, I try to install vmware tools, choosing the option in the VM menu. But I always get the message "not available for this customer to vmware tools" (hope translation is exactly the same of my installation of German fusion...).
Only the seams Win 2012 R2 to be affected. Linux, OS X, Win XP/7 works fine.
Any idea?
Thank you, david
I met the same problem. You need to do a manual installation of the vmware tools (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=1003417).

How to install VMware tools correctly on Linux Mint 15 cinnamon on Fusion 5.0.3
Hello
First of all, I understand that Linux Mint is not supported (side: anyone know if this will change?), so I appreciate any help. My main problem is with the folders shared
Dead ends
So far, I've run into some dead ends:
1. I watched install VMware Tools in Linux Mint 15 cinnamon (Olivia) - YouTube - but this facility has been the "'VMware Workstation 9.0.2 ' and the author admits"I don't know if it works or not with the fusion." "
2 I downloaded a a copy of the latest vmwaretools for linux of deposit of CDS - /www/stage/session-32/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/5.0.3/1040386/packages only to find it was exactly the same as the package vmwaretools this merger gives me at least VMwareTools - 9.2.2 - 893383
Some success
I had some mild success by running the following commands before installing - it seems to stop error messages:
apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
sudo apt-get install xinetd
But my MAJOR PROBLEM IS...
When I try to activate the shared folders while the guest is running, I see a message:
Or if I turn on shared folders when the guest does NOT work, I don't get an error message - but I don't see either record hgfs under/MNT
Other research
I read can't see the shared folders in Linux guest (Windows host) and and even tried to run the script vmtoolspatch of WoodyZ of this post - with the following result:
user@GNS3WB62 /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib $ ./vmtoolspatch
patching file driver.c
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] n
Apply anyway? [n] y

Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] n

Hunk #1 succeeded at 62 with fuzz 2 (offset 12 lines).
To install VMware Tools type the following
commands, pressing Enter after each:
cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
sudo ./vmware-install.pl
But after the installation of the VMware shared folders tools has not always worked.
My plea
Someone has successfully shared folder with Linux Mint 15 cinnamon (32 bit - no codecs) invited 5.0.3 fusion and if so could you share the steps that you used?
My system Details
I tried this using VMware Fusion 5.0.3 in both a
MacMini running Lion Server (OS X 10.7.5) 2 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a
MacBook Pro running 2.8 GHz Intel Core Duo 8 GB DDR3 (OS X 10.8.4) Mountain Lion
I have only this tried using Linux Mint 15 cinnamon (32 bit - no codecs)
Well, starting with the basic installation created by using the linuxmint-15-cinnamon-dvd-nocodecs-32bit.iso image under VMware Fusion 5.0.3 I did the following.
sudo apt - get install linux-headers-$(uname-r)
sudo ln-s/usr/src/linux-headers-$ (uname-r)/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname-r)/include/linux/version.h
Excerpt from vmtoolspatch.zip in my Home Directory.
Excerpt from the VMware Tools VMwareTools - 9.2.2 - 893683.tar.gz to: / tmp
Open a Terminal, by default, the base directory, then:
wkz@linuxmint15x86nc ~ $. / vmtoolspatch
patch the file driver.c
patching file inode.c
To install VMware Tools, type the following command
commands, pressing ENTER after each:
CD/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
sudo./VMware-install.pl
wkz@linuxmint15x86nc ~ $ cd/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
wkz@linuxmint15x86nc/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib $ sudo./vmware-install.pl
Once VMware Tools have been installed, I rebooted and had access to the VMware shared folders.
So it works with the basic install however I do not run apt - get update then apt - get upgrade or use one kernel other then the default. So once the changes then the scrip may not work and I don't have time to test each variable and am just trying to give some automated solution just to make it easier to patch based on what is said in the Notes section in the script. Really don't want to maintain it and others can build on this and or do something similar.
Make sure that the stamp of Date/time on the file vmtoolspatch is Jul 15 00:04:00 2013 as who has worked with this test.

Upgrade to 2.0.6 Fusion and when "install VMware tools" is selected - nothing happens
First time poster. Search discussions but have not seen a solution to my situation (I hope that I was not missing). After you have made the choice to install VMware Tools, the option under the Virtual Machine then offers a selection of "Cancel VMware Tools Installation" but seems to be charged is stuck. Yellow warning sign icon at the bottom right highlights "VMware tools can be improved" and when you click it, a context menu appears asking permission for Windows host process (Rundll32) to run and do so brings the VMware tools properties but clicking OK or update tools does nothing.
Any help would be appreciated. I am running Snow Leopard with Vista in my VM.
When clicked on install VMware Tools in the menu of the Virtual Machine that fusion inserted the ISO image in the CD/DVD and in the case of the Windows OS if the VMware tools set up does not automatically that the user must manually run the setup.exe from the CD/DVD drive.
If for example you should just start button and in the search box, type d:\setup, where "d:" is the drive letter assigned to the CD/DVD and then the installer should appear in the list and you can just double-click it.

The filesystem (vmhgfs module) driver is used only for the shared folder
feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
regardless of this function.
If you want the shared folders feature, you can install the driver of
running vmware-config - tools.pl once after being assured that gcc, binutils, make
and your kernel sources are installed on your computer.
These packages are available on the installation of your distribution CD.

Seems to work fine with the tools in the recent update to VMware Fusion 6.0.3:
http://www.VMware.com/go/downloadfusion
Certainly the tools should be updated in order to support a view recent guests of Ubuntu Unity (disabled, sofar, also with 6.0.3 + 14.04): maybe in Fusion 6.1, who knows...

Cannot install VMWare tools for linux
Hello
I use VMWare player 3.1.4.
I have a machine, Ubunto 11.04 on which I'm trying to install VMWare tools.
However, the download process always stops with an error: "not recognized update server data (4007). Try again later... »
I tried to download from two PC different and two different networks.
Any idea?
Thank you
Jonathan
Try disabling the web Updater by going to Preferences > uncheck the "check the Web for updates at startup".
You can uninstall and then install vmware player.
You can also get the tools using Apt - get, instead of by the bias of the player interface. See this page:

Where is the menu item "Install VMWare Tools"?
All the instructions I find assume that everyone can find it. I'm under Fusion and I can't.
The top bar has "Suspend", "Take a snapshot" 'Dismantling' and 'settings '.
The last one is the most obvious choice, but obviously I've meandered through the
window that appears very well. None of the Fedora menu items have be
("guest OS"). So WTF are people talking about when they say, "select" to:
Virtual machine > install VMWare Tools
Where is the menu 'Virtual Machine '? There is no such animal.

What I REALLY have to go digging in the registry to resolve this problem?
Is there a simple step by step procedure for those of us who are intimidated by the registry changes?
The right thing to do would be to fix incorrect information in the Windows registry in one of the following locations that contains wrong information...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
Or you could try the following, but it may not work, but you don't have to enter in the Windows registry, if it isn't.
In a command prompt (start > run > CMD) and use the SUBST command as in the following in your report example is "E:\. "as invalid.
SUBST E: C:\
Try to install VMware Tools and the SUBST command should not survive restarts, but if it does so in a command prompt using the following command.
SUBST E: /D
Anyway, the correct/proper is to correct the erroneous information in the Windows registry.

Can't mount/cdrom to install vmware tools
I'm under VMWare Fusion 2.0 and you have installed the latest version of PC - BSD (7.02) (32-bit for the i386 architecture). When I go to install the VMware tools, everything goes well until I have to mount the virtual cd. When I entered the command (from the root) to mount/cdrom, I get an error message stating basically that there is no such file or directory. I have already checked so far has not automount (and yes I'm Virtual Machine > install VMWare Tools.) I've managed to install VMWare Tools in Ubuntu Linux 8.10, but I had to create my own disk image and a few other things to make it work, and I thought I'd try the same thing with PC - BSD, but I can't find the freebsd vmware - tools.tar.gz anywhere in the content of the app. Can anyone help?

Catch 22 tries to install VMware Tools
I created a Windows 7 VM from a physical PC. I 'play' on a Player 10 Windows via VMware Workstation 12 host, connect to the guest and then click on the "Install tools" button in the player. I see this error message:
"The virtual machine must have a virtual CD/DVD device to install VMware Tools."
OK, so I turned off the guest who also ends the player, rerun the player, select the virtual machine and click on "Edit virtual machine settings". On the Hardware tab, I click on the Add button, select "reader of CD/DVD", click Next, select the "use ISO image" radio button (because I guess that's what the error message means by "virtual CD/DVD"), and then click Next, and then I get invited to an ISO image. And that's the Catch 22 - the error message indicates that the player has just need a virtual device, not an ISO, but when I try to add a virtual device, the player wants an ISO.
How to break this vicious circle and install VMware Tools?
I thought about it myself the answer to a question on the superuser. Here are the steps:
- Stop the virtual machine
- Run the drive and select the virtual machine
- Click on "Edit virtual machine settings".
- Click on "Add..." "in the Hardware tab
- Select "CD/DVD Drive", and then click Next
- Select the "use ISO image" radio button and click Next
- Navigate to C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware drive and double-click windows.iso
- Uncheck the box "Connect to light" (probably any) and click on finish
- Click OK
- Click on "Play virtual machine."
- Log on to the virtual computer
- Click installation tools
- Follow the instructions in the installer

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.

How to install vmware tools in a virtual machine running in the drive on an Ubuntu host?
I have a host of Ubuntu (Ubuntu LTS 14.04.2)
I have a virtual of Fedora (4.0.4 - 301.fc22.x86_64) and I would like to install vmware tools in the virtual machine.
When I select the player VirtualMachine-> reinstall VMware Tools...
I get a prompt in a box on the screen. It is said:
The following software are available for download:
VMware Tools for Linux version 9.9.3
What do you do?
X Cancel | Download and install
Of course I choose to download and install (kind of silly question - why I want to cancel?)
So instead of download the tools I want to install, it says:
Your permission is required to install an update to VMware.
Please enter the root password to move forward.
Password: __________
not serious. Now, he's looking for what root password? The virtual machine or the host?
I have try the virtual machine and it works-not "incorrect password... try again."
... well Ubuntu is not a root user. So, I try the password for the user with root privileges
"incorrect password... try again."
Then, he does not.
Not very satisfying.
The instructions that I found in my research right you will say to take the step to obtain the Tools package then (well, nothing of the rest of it is important if the tools are not available to me).
Suggestions? Advice?
The required password is for the host.
A workaround of functions is "sudo su -" of ubuntu host, then start vmplayer from the root prompt. You must browse the virtual machine since the user doesn't have a history of openness yet... but then there is no prompt asking for a password when you try to download the tools.
Maybe you are looking for
