• 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

• VMware Tools for Mac will not install bug.

  Hello I have a clean install of Mac OS x 10.9 I raise in a virtual machine but when I bring the VMware Tools installed, get an error:

  Cannot install VMware Tools on this disk.  VMware Tools requires Mac OS X 10.5 or higher.

  Screenshot attached.

  I've tried versions both 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 darwin.iso for VMware Fusion. but the same error.   I wonder what VMware is actually audit to determine the versions of operating system.   I have in the past summer success install the same software on the same computer, but I have tried to reinstall from scratch (more than once) and tried many changes of setting on both hosts and guests with no joy.   Anyone know how to fix?   

  Thank you.

  who was happy to install VMware tools...

  I'll tell you one last time...  When clean install OS X 10.9 Mavericks under VMware Fusion 6.0.2 VMware Tools are not automatically installed!

  In addition, it turns out that the "internal" or "removable" made no difference that I was able to move the vmdk from SATA, SCSI (appears inside the system) but that made no difference either but has been tested

  I have mentioned that the drive internal vs external because VMware Fusion before 6.0.2 has not created a good installer for OS X 10.9 Mavericks nor was it settled the case, and the fact that it was not properly installed may have been a contributing factor to the VMware Tools install problem not necessarily imply that the disk shows as external!

  I wonder if there is another way to install VMware Tools manually?  I can see the directory structure exposed within the darwin.iso but don't know if I can cp

  This straight out of the iso, but not being is not a Mac OSX expert... don't know if I can run alternate and no package installer idea what files are changed by install VMware Tools.

  Still confident enough, I can work around the issue of the installer.

  I just tested this on a clean build and with the help of pacifists opened the VMware Tools.pkg (Install VMware Tools.app/Contents/Resources/VMware Tools.pkg) in the bundle 'Install VMware Tools.app' on darwin.iso (VMware Tools for OS X) and "Selected files.pkg content" then clicked on install and check 'use administrator privileges '.  He basically just moved the files in places and then after that I restarted the computer virtual VMware Tools seem to work.  I tested VMware shared folders, copy & paste, drag & drop, and change the resolution of the screen... all seem to work fine, however it was simply intended as a test and not a recommended method to install VMware Tools and I don't know if it is essentially a complete installation.  I don't have the time now to analyze the two occurrences, one made appropriately and the other using pacifists to see if there is in fact no difference.

  I was also going to take the vmdk to another platform and see if any difference (doubt it will be)

  Any platform with not brand hardware Apple is a direct violation of the SLA products and may not be discussed in these forums!

• VMware tools will not install on Windows 2000 comments: "Setup failed to upgrade windows install.

• How to install vmware tools in a virtual machine running in the drive on an Ubuntu host?

  I have a host of Ubuntu (Ubuntu LTS 14.04.2)

  I have a virtual of Fedora (4.0.4 - 301.fc22.x86_64) and I would like to install vmware tools in the virtual machine.

  When I select the player VirtualMachine-> reinstall VMware Tools...

  I get a prompt in a box on the screen.  It is said:

  The following software are available for download:

  VMware Tools for Linux version 9.9.3

  What do you do?

  X Cancel |  Download and install

  Of course I choose to download and install (kind of silly question - why I want to cancel?)

  So instead of download the tools I want to install, it says:

  Your permission is required to install an update to VMware.

  Please enter the root password to move forward.

  Password: __________

  not serious.  Now, he's looking for what root password?  The virtual machine or the host?

  I have try the virtual machine and it works-not "incorrect password... try again."

  ... well Ubuntu is not a root user.  So, I try the password for the user with root privileges

  "incorrect password... try again."

  Then, he does not.

  Not very satisfying.

  The instructions that I found in my research right you will say to take the step to obtain the Tools package then (well, nothing of the rest of it is important if the tools are not available to me).

  Suggestions?  Advice?

  The required password is for the host.

  A workaround of functions is "sudo su -" of ubuntu host, then start vmplayer from the root prompt.  You must browse the virtual machine since the user doesn't have a history of openness yet... but then there is no prompt asking for a password when you try to download the tools.

• 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.

• Cannot install VMware Tools on Ubuntu VM

  I'm not having any success installing VMware Tools on a Ubuntu VM.

  If I try to use the GUI and click twice on the

  8.8.2 - VMwareTools - 590212.tar.gz file, I get "the content of the folder could.

  not be displayed. Operation not supported".

  I don't remember what I used in another attempt, but got, 'Extraction do not run. You

  don't have the appropriate permissions to extract archives in the folder

  ""file:///media/VMware%20Tools"

  If I right click on VMwareTools - 8.8.0 - 471268.tar.gz I choose "Open".

  With Archive Manager' which takes me to the vmware-tools-distrib

  file, where I can double-click that expose the content. There I

  see the vmware - install.pl folder and double-click the same, but nothing seems to happen.

  I tried to use the CLI, and I saw so many different suggestions

  (tar - xvf, - xvzf with and without the "-"). I get "Archive not found."

  If I opened a terminal in the folder/media/VMware Tools and enter:

  sudo tar - xvzf VMwareTools - 8.8.2 - 590212.tar.gz

  then it looks like it all begins is extracted for almost a

  minutes and then I get:

  "Smoothly with State failure due to previous errors"

  and if I scroll to the top news, the screen is loaded with ' no file or.

  Directory"(many times) to what whatever in the vmware-tools-distrib

  folder.

  I'm new to Linux and VMware... Please be gentle.

  Thank you.

• I have a 2008 iMac - how do Yosemite or El Capitan.  Sierra will not install.

  I have a 2008 iMac - how do Yosemite or El Capitan.  Sierra will not install (I want either the hack).

  I never 'got' Yosemite or El Capitan when they were available on the Mac App Store.

  The only way I've found is to get it on Apple's developer site, but I'm not a developer.  Apple how to flip the switch to the Mac App Store so that it shows up on top of my list?

  On this iMac, you should still be able to download El Capitan:

• Airport utility will not install

  When I try to install AirPort Utility on my iMac running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

  I get the following message;

  AirPort utility cannot be installed to this disk.

  The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported.

  could you please help.

  OS X El Capitan is already bundled with AirPort Utility v6.x. It seems that you try to install the older v5.x for the utility. Unfortunately, this older version will not install on later versions of OS X.

  If you require administer an older 802.11 g AirPort access point you will need a Mac running OS X Lion or earlier or a Windows XP or 7 PC.
