Installation of VMware Tools default Chinese

Hi, I've migrated just a Windows XP computer in a virtual machine on merger 4.1.

Works fine, except that when I try to uninstall software that is no longer needed by using the Windows Add/Remove programs of standard tool, all dialogs are in Chinese. This happens for some software to uninstall, but not others.

I guess I blame that on the individual software programs, except that the dialogues were all in Chinese, also when I tried to install VMware Tools.

I guessed the meaning of the different choices during the installation, choose 'Typical', and the tools are installed and I restarted Windows.

Now that dialogue tools boxes are in English, but every time I click the button help in the Tools dialog box, the help files are all in Chinese.

I found a similar problem posted at http://communities.vmware.com/message/1859046#1859046, where the poster creates an image of Win7 using its installation media rather than through migration of an existing computer. The solution success he had to re - run the installation without using Easy Install. Unfortunately, the migration of VMware tool does not offer me the possibility to use or not using any method of easy installation.

Someone has seen this before, or have any ideas?

Thank you

Have you already checked the language settings in the start menu-> Control Panel - "Regional and Language Options"?

  • The Installation of VMWare tools failed. In any case to force the update/install VMWare tools?

    I used to use VMware Workstation 10 and recently upgraded to VMware workstation 11.  However, whenever I try to install a newer version of VMware tools, it will fail with message saying something like "VMware Tools can be installed in the Virtual Machine.

    Yes, I am trying to install VMware Tools within the guest operating system, but I get this notification for all my virtual machines, I'm running.

    I'm under 6 Virtual Machines simultaneously and they run on Windows 7 32 bit OS and configured with 4 GB of RAM, 1CPU, 100GB HD + 5 GB second HD for the swap file, NO printer, no sound card.

    For each virtual machine, I changed about 50 + key of Windows registry and detect the values to hide from all the programs that they are running on the virtual machine.

    I assume due to records, I changed, it confuses VM installer who it is not running on a Virtual Machine.  Then I tried to change all these registers changed to send it back to the original value, yet I is always the same message.

    I must be missing either some registry values or values that I restored is false. But I don't know which is the case.

    I can simply delete all my Virtual Machines and start again with the new virtual machine, but I don't want to repeat this process whenever a newer version of the VM tools out. and installation of windows and search and replace registry values for each virtual computer is full of works.

    So, here is my question.  Anyone know how to force the update / install VM tools in my virtual machine?

    P.S. I added under scripts in the file .vmx for each of the virtual machines.  I don't think it would cause the problem but just in case I include it.

    As long as it is the Fusion of 5 or above, just run the installation program.

    If Fusion 4, you may experience problems with the video driver that I don't see if Fusion 4 was never updated to officially support Windows 8 guests. In this case, however, if the only goal is to get something running, be sure to disable the video driver from the VMware Tools installation.

  • No automatic installation of VMware Tools after the P2V migration

    I wanted to migrate a Windows XP Machine Workstation 8 and everything worked fine.

    Then I tried to start an application in this virtual machine and it doesn´t work. I made a second migration before tools VMware and the driver installation has been finished, I started the application and it worked. But after installtion it didn t work more.

    I tried to cancel the installation, but that luckily possible.

    My question is: How can I force the virtual machine, that it does not install not the drivers and tools automatically? And how do I install only parts of the drivers and tools?

    Do not turn it on in the first place - or like a rude thing - rename temporarily the windows.iso

    P2V'ed a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Server using the stand-alone converter. Converted OK, can launch the machine in 10 Workstation, log with the ID of the administrator, but no network adapter or mouse. Several web search performance of the possible solutions for this - change the local security policy to everyone, the services to disable Ctrl-M - they have not worked with me. After several uninstall, re-installation of VMware tools (manually via the keyboard navigation for the update of the operating system host by mapping shared folders), now when the machine starts I see in the system, try "device installation was prevented by a policy." Do not see anything particularly related to, with this verbiage, at the request of Windows and security logs events. In addition, the physical machine has been sent, is no longer available unfortunately, but I think that it is just config and can be corrected.

    Any help appreciated in advance.

  • Prevent installation of the vmware tools

    Hello!

    Is it possible to prevent the installation of VMWare tools when creating a new machine in the Workstation 6.5.1?

    I want to test the OS which is absolutely clean and it seems that VMWare tools are installed automatically when you create the virtual OS ISO. This is quite annoying, because after installing the tools is no longer a "clean" image

    As continuum wrote, under normal circumstances, the tools will get installed automaticall if you create a guest (some people like exactly that, and it is often asked here how to achieve this).

    Source of your guests? Are they have cloned, installed costs or...?

  • Can I install the vmware tools on a HP Proliant 380 G5 with VMware ESXi 3.5 Installable U3 with HP management components?

    Hello, I have install ESXi 3.5 U3 on a Hp Proliant 380.

    I have created a virtual machine to Windows 2003, and when I want to install VMWARE TOOLS from Vmware Infrastructure Client, it does not install on the virtual machine vmware tools. Nor has received all messages from a Client Infrastructure and neither of the virtual machine.

    Why could this happen?

    Thanks in advance

    NO.

    The installation of vmware tools lies in an iso file, which is located on your host ESX itself and is mounted on the virtual machine when you click "install vmware tools".

    Weather or not your host has a cdrom drive is not serious, you can always add a virtual cdrom drive to your guests and use iso files, or the cdrom drive on the PC that you are using the VI client from.

    If you vm doesn't have a virtual cdrom drive, it can't mount the vmware tools iso, and you cannot install the vmware tools.

    What should I do?

    Looking at your mistakes, you seem to have an earlier version of the tools which are not uninstaled or tools are coming from another source when the installation program checks the files are already claimed. I first uninstall everything that claims these files and possibly clean/regen your db packace if necessary. Then, reinstall the tools and see if you still get errors with no alert clobber.

  • How check/change in windows 2008 R2 vmware tools

    Hey guys,.

    I go through the documentation about our backup software, and it says to check and ensure THAT VSS is installed/activated in the installation of vmware tools, but when I go to add/remove programs and to seek to 'Edit' the installation I don't have this option. My only option is to uninstall vmware tools.

    Is VSS automatically installed/activated now in vmware tools? We run vsphere 4.0.

    Thank you

    Kevin

    I could be wrong, but I think that the driver VSS is enabled by default.  To verify, right-click on the VMguestInstall/Upgrade tools. When mount tools, you have an option to change, look under the drivers section

  • How the news works of linux vmware-tools associated with the support of actions HGFS?

    Just to clarify, if it is possible to get from VMware Tools for Linux Guest users qualified/developer/maintainer.

    If memory serves me right, from 12 Workstation, VMware Tools for modified Linux related with the way it handles stocks HGFS.

    Installation of VMware tools on many Linux guests, I always see the same behavior.

    In some installations it build hgfs module, in others it seems fair to connect on vmhgfs-fuse executable. No module hgfs not charged in this case of the kernel then HGFS works as expected.

    Exactly how it works under the hood, how to install VMware Tools/config, can determine whether it is necessary to build the module or just run vmhgfs-fuse?

    Well, strange person, not even VMware guys come on this subject. IMHO is a really interesting thing, I almost always use shared folders between guests and hosts, it's so easy and simple WHEN IT WORKS.

    The fact that no-one comes on this thread, show what I think always: products like workstation are profoundly less used, average people IMHO use 30/40 per cent of the potential software.

    Then, with a few hours and a few Linux guests many kind in hand machines (work with tools in both modes, hgfs.ko or fuse), investigated and found how it works by myself.

    This is what I found.

    Recent versions of VMware Tools for Linux now seems to check the fuse package installed on guest system installed and when they found him, they try to use vmhgfs-fuse (formerly an Open-vm-tools executable) to mount hgfs actions without the need of the hgfs.ko module and so without needing to compile the module often broken kernel. For example, hgfs.ko thin build up to kernel branch 4.4 and it is broken again on 4.5.

    The script vmware-config - tools.pl also seems power - also when it detects the fuse package - properly configure autostart for hgfs share.

    That's all, and it's very useful for me. Hope it will be for others.
