• How to activate the shared folders in the VMware tools

  I'm running a Windows 2003 Server EE guest x 64 OS in a virtual machine hosted by ESXi 3.5 u4 build 199239.

  The shared folders functionality is not supported by the ESX Server or GSX server, but is enabled when you install VMware Tools with the complete option. The feature is not enabled when you install VMware Tools with the typical option in respect of these products.

• Sharing folders hidden in VMware Fusion

  Hello

  A that someone managed to share a hidden folder (ie. a directory starting with a '. ') in VMware Fusion? For example, I want to share my directory ~/.ssh with my vm linux client.

  When I try to add a folder in the GUI, it appears a search dialog box but does not display hidden folders. I can't find any option to display these files. If this is not the case, is there a command line tool that I have will allow me to do?

  See you soon,.

  Dave

  Even if you expose files hidden in Finder that will allow you to see them in Virtual Machine > settings... > sharing or you will be able to see displayed by default in the operating system invited via '\\vmware-host\Shared' files , unless you change the settings to view the folders hidden with the hosts control however operating systems here is a workaround.

  Using your need to see the hidden file ~/.ssh here, that's what I did.

  The following has been done with the Virtual Machine to stop target of in the guest operating system, not suspended by VMware Fusion.

  In my case, I made a folder named temporarily: dotssh

  In my Virtual Machine under sharing settings I added a folder by selecting the dotssh file and then closed VMware Fusion and then deleted the folder ~/dotssh .

  Then I edited the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file.

  When I added the dotssh shared folder it added several lines of parameters to the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file, and two in particular that I edited then manually.

  sharedFolder0.hostPath = "~/dotssh"
  sharedFolder0.guestName = "dotssh"
  

  I then changed to:

  sharedFolder0.hostPath = "~/.ssh"
  sharedFolder0.guestName = ".ssh"
  

  Next I opened VMware Fusion and started Virtual Machine and once at the level of the Windows desktop, I double-clicked the shortcut "VMware shared folders" and he opened the Windows Explorer "\\vmware-host\Shared records" and of course this folder appears empty as I had no other normal folders shared nor was the guest operating system configured to display hidden however folders add "\.ssh" to the "\\vmware-host\Shared records" in the address bar has allowed me to see the content of the .ssh my Home on Mac folder.

  Then I made a new desktop shortcut pointing to "\\vmware-host\Shared.ssh" to use instead of the shortcut to "VMware Shared Folders" by default, but I could also see hidden folders of the guest operating system and then would the .ssh folder without having to type in the address bar or create a new shortcut It's your choice.

  1. install the mouse driver in the BACK machine.  See the page of Zamba of good tips for creating virtual machines in BACK.  http://www.scampers.org/Steve/VMware/

  2. because the shared folders feature requires VMware tools to install; and since there is no BACK VMware Tools package, you can not do this.  Follow the tips on the page links above to set the standard Windows file sharing (LAN) / Samba.

• Impossible to get files shared, open-vm-tools or vmware tools to work after upgrading Fusion 8

  I just upgraded to Fusion 8 and have been upgrading my VMs accordingly.  I went to install vmware tools as usual on Ubuntu 14.04, and the script or the pop-up said that the preferred method for this OS has been to use instead the open-vm-tools. I installed open-vm-tools, but my shared folders disappeared. I tried to install vmware-tools, since I found an old ad saying that would solve the problem, but he wants to only replace open-vm-tools.  I thought I would try anyway, but the installation fails with errors.  I completely uninstalled vmware tools and restarted open-vm-tools.  It doesn't seem to be a manual for the use of open-vm-tools.

  If open-vm-tools is the preferred method to use ubuntu on vmware, how to bring back all the features (shared folders, etc.)  Why did every upgrade VMware accompanied by pain and hard to find answers?  Or maybe I'm being really stupid.

  (this was originally released by chance in the wrong place.  It is now being published in the Fusion forum)

  OK, I FINALLY got working open-vm-tools on Ubuntu.  I'm not sure that all that was necessary, but here's what I did:

  1. Completely uninstalled vmware tools using the uninstall program
  2. Open-vm-tools, open-vm-tools-desktop and open-vm-tools-dkms is installed. I am not sure I needed everything, but at least man pages were here who has helped.
  3. At one time I used vmware-user-suid-wrapper, which defined the Office on the appropriate resolution, but is not persisted until I upgraded to Ubuntu.
  4. Updated Ubuntu Studio ot 15.04 Vervet vives.
  5. VMware-hgfsclient will show you what is actually shared by the virtual machine, even if it is not mounted.
  6. To constantly rising stocks, I added the following to the / etc/fstab: "".host: / / mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults 0 0 ""
  7. Rebooted and everything works now.

  Given that VMware now recommends that users use open-vm-tools instead of the deprecated vmware-tools, it would have been nice to have brief instructions on how to make the transition, rather than have me spend hours in trial and error until I have to work.

• Cannot map the shared folders to the drive letter in WIndows prompt

  I seem to have a problem with the shared folders in a Windows on Fusion 6 client. Turning on shared folders in the VM options creates the "VMWare shared folders" shortcut on my desktop, and I can open and view files shared host, as expected. However, it is not map the shared folders to drive Z: in Windows because I expect, and I can not also go to shared folders using the path "\\vmware-host\Shared records" (for example, only by typing in the address bar in a window of the Explorer). It is a problem, because I need a path that I can put scripts to refer to things in the shared folder.

  Also, if I access network in Explorer, vmware-host is there but trying to open it gives me the error "Windows cannot access \\vmware-host."

  I'm running 6 Fusion on OS X Mavericks, and the guest is Windows 8.1. My .vmx file contains the following lines which I think are related to shared folders:

  insulation. Tools.hgfs.Disable = "FALSE".

  hgfs.mapRootShare = 'TRUE '.

  hgfs.linkRootShare = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.present = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.enabled = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.readAccess = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.writeAccess = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.hostPath = ' / users/buck/projects.

  sharedFolder0.guestName = 'projects '.

  sharedFolder0.expiration = "never".

  sharedFolder.maxNum = '1 '.

  For me, the weirdest thing is that I can get for shared folders by using the shortcut on the desktop, but by typing the exact path and the shortcut points to in an Explorer window does not work!

  If anyone has any suggestions on how I could get this works normally, I would be very grateful - thank you!

  Hi Buck,

  Welcome to the community.

  Have you tried to re - install vmware tools in your windows 8.1?

  I think you should activate windows network discovery if you want to browse vmware host in the network.

  You can enable this by

  Control Panel-> network and Internet-> Network and Sharing Center-> the advanced sharing settings

• Windows 2008 Server Core - install VMware Tools

  I am running VMware Workstation V9.0.1 build-894247 on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.  I'm trying to install VMware tools on an o/s comments running Windows 2008 Enterprise (Core).  I am able to run the installation (using d:\setup.exe) but the services tools fail on the o/s comments every time.  I uninstalled / reinstalled / repaired several times without a bit of luck.

  The error that I get during installation or repair is:

  VMware tools error

  Fatal error VMware Tools: (vthread-3)

  Exception 0xc0000005 (access violation) occurred.

  You can request Support

  ...

  I'm unable to run the script in vm - support.vbs on the o/s of comment due to the following error:

  VM - support.vbs line: 249 Char 9

  Error: Invalid root in registry key

  "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSINfo\Path"

  Code 800700002

  Source: WshShell.RegRead

  Anyone have any suggestions for the installation of VMWare tools in Server 2008 Enterprise (Core)?

  Looks like the same question as http://communities.vmware.com/thread/429432

  It seems that Windows 2008 Core is not explorer.exe, and it is part of the tools dealing with the integration of the unit which does not handle this correctly.

  Try to delete the following file tool to disable the functionality of the unit, and restart Windows:

  C:\Program VMware Tools\plugins\vmusr\unity.dll

  The rest of the functionality of tools such as changing resolution and copy + paste should continue to work even without the Unity plugin.

• VMware Tools crash when connecting using Workstation 9.0.1

  On a new installation of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Core x 64 SP2 on VMware Workstation 9.0.1 I see probably an accident in the Basic Service of VMware (vmtoolsd.exe) tools every time almost immediately on login. The installation is completely cool with VMware Tools installed immediately after initial configuration of the operating system is complete. The exact error I get is as follows:

  Fatal error VMware Tools: (vthread-3)

  Exception 0xc0000005 (access violation) occurred.

  I took a glance at the VMware KB but nothing really seemed to match what I see:

  • VMware tools on a machine virtual Windows fails with the error: Exception 0xc0000005 (access violation)
    Error is the same, but only seems to apply to a scenario of upgrade of the tools, and this is a new installation. I checked duplicates anyway but found nothing.
  • Improve tools VMware Fusion 4 or 8 workstations fails with the error: fatal error VMware Tools
    Error is identical, but this problem has been resolved in Workstation 8.0.1 should not apply.
  • Upgrade VMware Tools 5.1 causes spew of log in the Windows event log: error in the RPC receive loop
    This error is the most close and on adding in the configuration tools.conf the future restart didn't plant so I thought initially it was corrected. However, the subsequent reboot had the same problem again. I checked the tools.conf was still in place to be sure (that was).

  Interestingly, at the time of this problem I have also installed several other virtual machines listed below. Only the Server 2008 Core VM sees this question makes me think it is something specific to this particular operating system. Perhaps a missing DLL VMware expected to exist given it is a Core type installation? Other virtual machines installed very well:

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x 64 SP2
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 SP1
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Core x 64 SP1 R2
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 x 64
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Core x 64

  I have attached a few dumps if someone VMware wants to study more. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!

  It seems that Windows 2008 Core is not explorer.exe, and it is part of the tools dealing with the integration of the unit which does not handle this correctly.

  Try to delete the following file tool to disable the functionality of the unit, and restart Windows:

  C:\Program VMware Tools\plugins\vmusr\unity.dll

  The file is not missing, I'm interested in it right now in archive of gun zipper VMwareTools - 8.8.4 - 743747.tar.gz located in the VMware Tools for VMware Workstation 8.0.4 linux.iso file.

  FWIW, I always install VMware Tools on Linux from a root shell (su - (including Ubuntu)) and the cd vmware-tools-distrib directory and start the installation simply with ./vmware-install.pl just like the instructions say to do, and it usually works without problem by providing that the prerequisites are met.

• How to install VMware Tools in Ubuntu guest with no Internet connectivity?

  I need to install VMware Tools in a Guest Ubuntu (10.04) running in VMware Player.

  The machine on which it is running has no internet access; It is part of an isolated network.

  I know there are a LOT of instructions on how to do it, and it seems that they all begin with "mount your ISO file...". ' or "click"Install VMware Tools..."."

  Of course, I have not and cannot find a file ISO of VMware tools for Ubuntu.  I admit that I can be looked in the wrong place, but I watched several times and have spent many hours on it.   I tried Open VM Tools as well and followed the instructions included, but orders did not produce the responses described.

  When I click on "Install VMware Tools" the machine just made several attempts to connect to a server that will never happen.

  Although it does not prove that I know what I'm doing, I installed VMware Tools on several hosts of Windows XP.  For some reason, I was able to find many versions of VMware Tools for Windows ISO.  The installation worked everytime with very little hair loss.

  Thanks for any help on this eternal question.

  You will need to download the ISO images for the VMware Tools installation media at least once, on a computer with internet access.  Player menu--> File--> Preferences of the player.  Click on the button download now all components.  Once complete, there will be 6 ISO files in the folder of the player.  You can copy them to the same location on the PC that you are currently underway.  Then, you can follow the instructions to install VMware Tools in a Linux Guest, located in the help file.

• Where to download VMWare Tools

  Where can I download the VMWare tools that work with Ubuntu 11.04?

  JSYK Ubuntu 11.04 is not a supported load (or host) guest OS in VMware Workstation 6.0.4 and I don't know if the version of VMware Tools in VMware Workstation 7.1.4 will work properly with VMware Workstation 6.0.4 However either first backup the VM or take a snapshot and you can try with the next file.

  • Tools-linux - 8.4.6.exe.tar

  After downloading, you unzip archive and then run the .exe file that results.  This should extract the linux.iso file in the working directory of VMware Workstation how you should be able to select install VMware Tools normally or if necessary, point the CD/DVD on the linux.iso.

• Let guestOS auto repair/re-install VmWare Tools after update?

  As I learned that VmWare Tools installation in guestOS (Ubuntu or Solaris, for example) can be destroyed when the guestOS is updated

  Is it possible to leave the guestOS AUTOMATICALLY installs/re-repair VmWare Tools in such a situation?

  I don't want to worry about Vmware tools more after the first installation.
