• VMware Workstation 11 crashes after installing VMware tools

  As the title suggests, VMware Workstation 11 crashes after installing VMware Tools with a guest Windows 7 x 64. I am running VMware on a host Windows 7 x 64. It happens every time I try to install the guest operating system. Attached to this post are all the newspapers that I could find that I thought would help solve the problem.

  As you may already know, VMware has just released a major update for 11 workstation (including VMware tools updated). Workstation now works almost perfectly. I don't have accidents since then. This means that I have was right in my post above. This is indeed nothing more than a BETA version of VMware buggy, lazy, masked as a "final". Wow, it looks like that a respectable company like this would not resort to such unethical practices. I mean that you would expect this kind of crap of a company like Electronic Arts, but VMware? Come on guys, you're better than this!

• VMware Fusion 7 - OSx 10.9 comments iTunes hangs at each time after installing vmware tools

  Hello community,

  I'm having a problem with vmware tools.  Yesterday, I did the upgrade of Fusion 6 to 7 Pro.

  I have installed Mavericks like virtual machine.  My system (iMac Late2013) has installed Mavericks.

  With vmware tools iTunes crash whenever it is launched.

  Without vmware tools iTunes works well... but the yield is very low (I can't use shared folders, etc.)

  Before upgrading vmware fusion 7, I had fusion 6 and everything works fine (I mean iTunes with vmware tools)

  I use this machine with audio application and it is important for me to use iTunes inside the virtual machine.

  Is there the 'tricks' to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  It's finally a bug in iTunes that Apple should correct (so please click on "Send to Apple" in this window), but it is important to use to find out what triggers it.

  I suspect a significant change, we did for the graphics drivers of comments (within the VMware Tools for OS X) between Fusion 6 and 7 of the merger. To test this theory, please try the following experiences in your VM Mavericks:

  o experience 1

  In Terminal.app, run the following command:

  sudo nvram boot-args = 'vmw_gfx_caps = 0'

  Then restart the client Mavericks. Does make the problem disappear? If no, continue to experiment 2

  o experience 2

  In Terminal.app, run the following command:

  sudo rm - rf {/System,}/Library/Extensions/VMwareGfx.kext

  Then restart the client Mavericks. Does make the problem disappear?

• Prob with the network card driver after installing vmware tools

  Hello

  I have 3 ESX 3.5 Update 3 and a VC 2.5 update 4.  I've updated an ESX for release 3.5.0 153875. I've also updated the customer vlmware on each virtual machine on the esx server. When I restart the machine virtual (Linux Redhat 5.2 or Windows 2 K) or Windows2003, I cannot ping the vm for +-5 minutes from my pc, but it works if I do a ping to a virtual machine in the same vswitch. If I disable/enable the network device, I can ping directly.

  If I remove the vmware-tools I can ping directly after a reboot...

  Thank you for your help

  Very strange.  Try to use a different type of NETWORK adapter, enhanced vmxnet and see if you see the same behavior.  There may be a bug with the latest version, and if the problem persists, you can open a SR with vmware.

• 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 Re: sharing files on drive betw host and the guest does not work on Ubuntu 13.04 and even tried to run the script vmtoolspatch of WoodyZ of this post - with the following result:

  user@GNS3WB62 /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib $ ./vmtoolspatch

  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.

• Ubuntu LTS 14.04 will not install VMWare Tools ability to shared folders

  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 on virtual Mac

  I created a virtual instance of a Mac (Mountain Lion) on my Windows 7 system.

  I click the button on the drive, select manage and then install VMware Tools. I get an error: component not found on the update server. Contact VMware Support or your system administrator.

  I have confirmed that I can browse the Internet from the virtual system. What other steps should I take, so that I can install the tools?

  Thank you

  Virginia

  Post edited by: BigSam1 Thanks to each of you for the information. I was curious to know if this could be done, so I searched and found a blog with instructions. Now that I know it's not cool to do, I have deleted the virtual Mac.

  Because MAC OS on an Apple brand hardware not violates Apple EULA, this is not supported by VMware Player, which is the reason why there are not VMware Tools available for it.

• 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:

• 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).

• What happens in terms of performance, if I didn't install VMware tools on linux with NIC defined as VXNET3

  Hi Experts,

  I would like to understand the following:

  Currently, I have a server with 10 G interfaces (u1, ESXi 5.5) and I installed SUSE linux as a virtual machine with adapter NIC VXNET3, but I don't want to install VMware tools. According to the article, VMtools are needed for VXNET3

  VMware KB: Choose one network adapter for your virtual machine

  So my question is: what happens to the performance of the network on this machine? (Saw that it basically works but not sure of the performance).

  Another question: in which case we have a virtual machine, but we do not want to install VMtools on it, which is recommended for this virtual machine NIC adapter?

  Thank you

  ekhmahg

  so my question is, what is the performance impact of not installing the VMtools when using VXNIC?

  None. Even if you have installed VMware tools, your BONES would still use the supplied kernel vmxnet3 module unless force you the installation of the VMware Tools (-clobber-kernel-modules = vmxnet3).

  Overwrite the supplied OS module is not recommended and besides if you're updating your kernel on a regular basis, you'll probably a newer version or at least the version module even as provided by the VMware tools (unless you keep bleeding edge with your updates of ESXi).

  the second question: If we do not want to install VMtools at all, what is the best recommended NIC adapter?

  vmxnet3. As you do not need to install the VMware Tools since the kernel module is provided by every modern Linux already.

• Another debutant fails to install vmware-tools

  I know that the process is supposed to be automated, fool-proof and easy to use, but my newly installed with reader

  I cobbled together something together in a previous version--tools and have the adjustable screen resolution, but other parts

  VMware dear users,.

  I'm quite new to vmware players.

  My host system is OpenSuse 11.3 and I want to run Windows 7 (64) as a guest operating system. The windows installation went without any problems, but I am unable to have a display full screen of my guest operating system.

• 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.
