• problem of rookie when installing vmware tools

  I installed VMware Tools successfully, but when I try to configure the real GUI, told me that I must be an administrator to perform tasks. I tried to change (what I thought was root) my login to an administrator and tried to do a su - root in Terminal mode. Order root authentication fails. I tried this in Ubuntu and Fedora when I know that the only created account was the one I use. I have to redo the installation and create the first user "root"? I don't get a sign # in mode Terminal - just the sign $. My main goals are to allow a reader to CD-ROM and full screen.

  Hello, try

  sudo su
  

  instead of su - root

• Do not install vmware tools

  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. I read somewhere on the web that it could be due to the fact that I have not installed VMWARE tools. When you click on "install VMWARE tools" I get the followign error.

  Component not found on the update server. Contact VMware Support or your system administrator.

  I use VMWARE player 3.1.3 build-324285.

  Has anyone experienced the same issue?

  Thank you all for your help.

  Kind regards

  Sylvain

  Hi sylvain

  allowed the computer to d/l all the tools. It has downloaded all the tools. Hope you logged as administrator.

  Try again!

• PowerShell remoting to install VMWare tools

  Greetings

  It is true that it is probably focused more on PowerShell and less on VMware VMware tools is the target

  I'm trying to write a script to install VMware tools remotely on the virtual machines that do not have VMware tools installed.

  So far I have the below...

  Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Cis.Core

  Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Core

  Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.HA

  Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Sdk

  Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Storage

  Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Vds

  Se connect-VIServer vCenterserver.domain

  
  

  $username = "domain\username"

  $SecurePassword = Read-Host -Quick ' Enter * FIELD * password " -AsSecureString

  $Credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential '

  -ArgumentList $UserName $SecurePassword

  
  

     $VM = "Test01"

     Get-vm $VM | Dismount-Tools

     Get-vm $VM | Mount-Tools

  $RMsession = New-PSSession -ComputerName $VM -Credential $Credentials

  Invoke-Command -Session $RMSession -ScriptBlock { }$CDRom = Get-WmiObject -class Win32_CDROMDrive | select Drive | ForEach {$_. {{ Drive}}

  { Invoke-Command -Session $RMSession -ScriptBlock { }$Subpath = '\setup.exe s-v - SB ADDLOCAL = all THE REBOOT = R'}

  { Invoke-Command -Session $RMSession -ScriptBlock { }$ExecuteEXE = Join-Path -Path $CDRom -ChildPath $Subpath}

  { Invoke-Command -Session $RMSession -ScriptBlock { }start-process $executeEXE}

  output

  Remove-PSSession *

  Disconnect VIServer * -confirm:$False

  
  

  I confirmed that $executeEXE = indeed Z:\setup.exe s - v - SB ADDLOCAL = ALL REBOOT = R

  When I run the script in the ISE, I get:

  Start-Process: this command cannot be executed due to the error: the system cannot find the specified file.

  Online: 1 character: 14

  + start-process < < < < $executeEXE

  + CategoryInfo: InvalidOperation: (:)) [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException)

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: InvalidOperationException, Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand

  It is true that I am very inexperienced with PowerShell remoting.

  It seems that when I run the script it seems in fact be invoking the command on the remote computer, but rather on the local computer. VMware tools are piling up and the path in $executeEXE is 100% correct and the PSSession is also open, no doubt, but not magic?

  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

  Greetings LucD

  Looks like I may have found the problem.

  Looking for a way run the background process, so that I can do a get-process, while he was running to show he was running, I discovered that start-process allows you to specify the - ArgumentList parameter. (windows - start a detached in PowerShell background process - Stack Overflow) (2 responses)

  So, it looks like this:

  Invoke-Command - Session $RMSession - ScriptBlock {"$CDRom = Get - WmiObject - class Win32_CDROMDrive | select drive"}

  | ForEach {$_.} Disk}; $Subpath = '\setup.exe '; $ExecuteEXE is $CDRom join-Path-Path - ChildPath $Subpath;. start-process $executeEXE - ArgumentList's - v - SB ADDLOCAL = ALL REBOOT = R'}

  To my surprise translates:

  [Test01]: C:\ PS > Get-Process of installation *.

  Manages the NPM PM (K) k VM (M) CPU Id ProcessName

  -------  ------    -----      ----- -----   ------     -- -----------

  68 10 1540 5088 56 3220 0.17 setup

  108 10 2324 7340 76 0.14 3504 setup64

  And VMware tools installed.

  Thank you very much for your time and trouble. Always very appreciated!

• 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.

  
  

  Thank you

  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!

• 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.

  SVGA.vramsize = 268435456

  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "" true ".

  insulation. Tools.getptrlocation.Disable = 'true '.

  insulation. Tools.setptrlocation.Disable = 'true '.

  insulation. Tools.setVersion.Disable = 'true '.

  insulation. Tools.GetVersion.Disable = 'true '.

  monitor_control.disable_directexec = 'true '.

  SMBIOS.reflecthost = 'true '.

  memtrimrate = '0 '.

  mainmem.usenamedfile = "false".

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "false".

  prefvmx.userecommendedlockedmemsize = 'true '.

  Tent Installer to get the version information of the hypervisor of underling to see if it is a VM or not.  This is done by contacting by back door.

  Setting monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "true"prevents communication."

• 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).

  Ranjana,

  Please, review the vminst.log file located in % TEMP and see if we could see related errors.  Otherwise follow the troubleshooting steps below;

  1. check that the guest operating system that you want to install VMware Tools is fully certified.

  2. check that the correct guest operating system is selected

  3. check that the good ISO image is loaded. For more information, see ensuring good ISO image VMware tools is loaded (1003910).

  4. check that the VMware Tools ISO image has not been damaged. For more information, see determine if your VMware Tools ISO image is damaged on a host ESX/ESXi (1004820).

  5. If you are installing a Windows operating system, make sure that you do not encounter problems with your Windows registry database. For more information about the resolution of the problems of register with VMware Tools, see Impossible to upgrade the existing VMware tools (1001354).

  6. If you install on a 64-bit Linux guest OS, make sure that there are no missing dependencies. For more information, see Tools from VMware install fails to start the daemon of guest OS on the operating systems 64-bit Linux with the glibc-common package 32-bit installed (1023185).

  If your problem persists, please refer to: KB VMware: VMware Tools installation problems that are defective in a guest operating system or contact support.

• How to install VMWARE tools in ESXi VirtualHost?

  Friends,

  New in the vmware community... Just-VCP5-VTC review first attempt scored 184 little weak feeling... is in any case I have server with 16 GB of memory and processors R710 Dual Core Quad and 4 TB of storage with raid 0 which gives me two 2 TB built in Lun with raid 5 OS mirrored disks. Have installed ESXi server and created 4 VMS 1 VC, 1 ms and 2 linux machine I will use as ESXi servers for clustering; HA; DRS etc.

  I am struggling to install the vmware tools on virtual hosts esxi; can't seem to get the media using the mount command? I installed vmware tools on other virtual machines to linux without problem...

  VMware Tools are not available or supported on ESXi virtual hosts.

  BTW. I'm a bit confused about the "... and have 4 TB of storage with raid 0 which gives me two 2 TB built in Lun with raid 5 OS mirrored disks...» ». Assuming that you have 4 disks, not do you have configured them in 3 RAID5 disks with a backup?

• 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.

• I can't install VMware tools on Fedora 14. Invalid query

  Hello.

  When you try to install vmware tools on a freshly installed server win2008r2 supposted to browser CD virtual to propose setup.exe shows two linux files: vmwareto.gtz and manifesto.

  What have you selected for your Version of guest OS in the virtual machine settings?  That could be the cause of this problem.

  I also ESXi VSphere 4 Essentials Plus version 4.0.0 (hosts, vserver and vsphere client).  Should I move to the 4.0.1?  Any new functionality or important bugfixes or may continue with 4.0.0?

  4.0 U1 introduces support for Windows Server 2008 R2, so it would be a good thing to upgrade if you can.

  Good luck!
