Need to install the tools each time I run Fusion

I'm under Fusion v2.0.2.  The guest operating system is Windows XP Home Edition.  The computer is a macbook pro (early 2007).  Every time I launch the merger, I need to re-install VMWare tools by going to the menu bar, clicking on 'Virtual Machine' and select "install VMWare Tools".  Someone answered in another thread that should not need to install tools beyond the first time.  Any ideas on what is wrong with my setup?

Thank you.

Hi Anthony,.

so your problem with tools is not one that has been fixed with this latest version of 2.0.2 (147997). However, I really wonder if you must install the tools of your virtual machine? Is not because the menu item "Install VMware Tools" in the menu 'Virtual Machine' is not disabled it means that you must install the tools of your virtual machine. In general, if VMware Tools are not up to date, once your virtual machine is running and launched, you should see the small blue icon with three cubes (symbol of Vmware) on the Windows taskbar, bottom right, flashing. In any case, to check if you really have an older version of tools, right click on the little blue icon in the Windows taskbar and open the Vmware Tools Properties dialog box. Select the 'About' tab (last one) and check the Version displayed. In particular, the build No. shown it should be the same as the build number Fusion (that you can get from VMWare Fusion menu "About VMware Fusion"). If these two values are identical, then there is no need upgrade VMware tools.

I'll look into the other problem you mentioned on Boocamp VM works slowly.

Thank you

Laura

  • Do I need to install the tools on a vm linux without GUI?

    Hello

    I google to do so, only to find information that confused me more...

    I have a couple of machines virtual linux (centos 5.2), we use as web/file servers.

    GUI is not installed and vmnic type is E1000.

    Do we need to install wmware tools even if there is no GUI/graphics on virtual machine?

    Thanks in advance

    You must use the e1000 for x 64 driver.

  • VMware Tools error, can not download and install the tools: "internal error of the client CD (3033). Contact your system or VMware Support Administrator"

    Hello

    I installed Windows Pro 8.1 x 64 RTM with Rollup GA A on PC, after that I installed VMware Player 6.0.1 and when I tried to download and install VMware Tools, I got the following error message: "internal error of the client CD (3033).» Contact your administrator system or VMware Support. »

    How can I install these tools? Please, fix the problem with the Server CD, I need to install VMware Tools.

    I tried to download on the deposit of CDS - / www/internship/session-32/cds/vmw-desktop/player but there is no record for the VMware Player 6.0.1 version, while the Tools-windows - 9.6.0.exe.tar is a strange form, how can I install these tools in VMware Player?

    Thank you.

    Workaround solution:

    1. download the trial of VMware Workstation 10

    2. install

    3. navigate to the Program files VMware Workstation 10

    4. find windows.iso, copy to USB or transfer it to some hosting

    5. go the machine to hosts, copy on it windows.iso

    6. inside of the guest computer mount windows.iso as drive

    7 install tools

    8 restart the guest computer

    That's all

    P.S. I am very disappointed, that such large and respected company, like VMware, after almost a month, since the question has been raised cannot pay 10 minutes and fixes a bug with CD-server and allow their users to download & install VMware Tools without any problems, even if we are talking about free product such as VMware Player!

  • Does not install the tools of LM in the evaluation version of Lab Manager

    The Lab Manager eval version contains the option to install the tools of LM? I can't find this option anywhere in the mouse option in the templates on a server that is not in a domain.

    For Lab Manager 3.0 is no longer a requirement for the tools of LM.  VMware Tools is all you need.  Any mention of the LM tools in the documentation must support VM for upgrade.

  • What is needed to install the Apple Profile Manager

    I am trying to use the Profile Manager as our MDM solution for a roll-out of iPads.  Anyone knows what is needed to install the Profile Manager?  I tried to contact the guy through my Representative, who introduced me to the MPA but haven't heard anything back.  Any help would be great.

    Well, a mac.

    Last Profile Manager requires el Capitan. El Capitan requires 2 gigabytes of memory.  A reasonable minimum is 4gig.  You prefer get 8gig.  you prefer to get an external hard drive to back up your machine. The Profile Manager is a separate download?  -No - I think.  Thus, you prefer to buy the el Capitan Server version.

    El CAP requirements are a little convoluted.

  • Need to reset the date and time

    My system has decided that it is Jan.4th 2004 and everytime I turn it on, I need to reset the date and time. How can I cure this?

    Packard Bell's Web site does not recognize the 'ALT' CO2 as a model.  Despite this, however, PB seems only to provide a 'generic user guide"which is not described the replacement of the motherboard or the battery at all.  In fact, the only thing he has to say about batteries is be careful how get rid you of them.

    Your computer is a laptop or Desktop/Tower computer?

    If you have a desktop/Tower computer, you can look here--> http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/pb/mb/pbmb.htm and see if you can identify the motherboard used in your computer.

    However, if you have a desktop/Tower computer, the best thing to do is to unplug your computer from the network and, taking the precautions perfectly static electricity, open the box and inspect the motherboard yourself.

    A newish mother on the above site, http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/pb/mb/cosmos.htm, shows the battery on the center line vertical and more to the left.  It's just below the 3 PCI slots.  If you have something like that, a Visual inspection should be enough to see how to remove it.  The type of battery will be engraved on the top of the battery.  In the photo, it looks like a model CR-2032, but there are several models of battery on this size.  Battery CR-2032 (or equivalent) is available in almost every pharmacy chain in the United States as well as online and stores like Radio Shack.

    The page for an old motherboard, http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/pb/mb/450.htm, indicates that the battery is a '3.0V DC Lithium soldered to the motherboard"and if that were the case, it would probably be something that you wouldn't do yourself.  However, this thread is to think that all you have to do for this particular mobo is actually finding the right type of support plug-and - battery.

    If you have a laptop, things can get quite a bit more difficult.  If you can find a different model for your computer name, you may be able to find the manual here--> http://tim.id.au/laptops/packardbell/ , but some of these manuals can not explain clearly how to get to the CMOS battery.

  • Do I need to install the important updates or recommended?

    Original title: HP Pavilion Elite HPE210

    I have reinstalled Windows 7 on this desktop computer. Do I need to install the important updates or recommended?  I g6 Pavilion laptop which I reinstalled windows 7 same question but I don't update windows drivers. Who updates the drivers then?

    Yes, of course, you must do all the Important Windows updates to bring your computer up-to-date and secure.  In fact, most of these updates are patches to fix security vulnerabilities.

    Optional updates are another matter.  In fact, most of them is not good for your computer.  You need a source very knowledgeable information to guide you to choose those.

    Regarding the drivers,.

    Almost without exception, your ONLY source of drivers for your computer are on the HP support web site.  Windows Update will sometimes offer driver updates that mostly (but not always) are OK, but you should prefer the HP as your source.

    Don't get caught up in a frenzy more updates driver.  In practice, they rarely need to be looked at and then only if there is a specific problem to solve.

    NEVER, use sites to update driver on the internet.  They are virtually all the two sources of infection and/or updates bad and bad.
