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.

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

error general system when installing vmware tools
Hello world
"I converted two servers today and it went well except that when I try to install vmware tools I get the message" an error General sysytem ' internal error.
the windows.iso file is not in the folder vmimages sos I think that's the problem. is that correct? I have the vmware cd in the drive, no idea how to recover the iso in directory and this causes my error?
My two vms have connections of 10 MB and I need them for Monday morning, any help is greatly appreciated. my support is with dell and they told me today they have no experts in vmware at the weekend? (ill b that resuming Monday morning to our account mgr)
Hello
Transferred to the virtual machine and OS forum comments.
You get the error then 'install' or 'mount' the ISO image?
Also, you go through and remove all equipment and unused hardware drivers of your virtual machine after the P2V?
Best regards

When I try a search using my google toolbar it stops responding and when I open tools > Addons, a window pops up saying script is unresponsive, which is followed by firefox crashing. How can I fix it?
It is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and themes and this one for plugins.
If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please be afraid not to follow my instructions to the line, as everything can be easily undone.

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 and even tried to run the script vmtoolspatch of WoodyZ of this post - with the following result:
user@GNS3WB62 /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib $ ./vmtoolspatch
patching file driver.c
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] n
Apply anyway? [n] y

Hunk #2 FAILED at 1978.
Hunk #3 succeeded at 1962 (offset -71 lines).
2 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file driver.c.rej
patching file inode.c
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] n
Apply anyway? [n] y
Hunk #1 succeeded at 62 with fuzz 2 (offset 12 lines).
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.

Impossible to install VMware Tools in Fusion 2.0.2
Just migrated from Parallels 4 to VMware Fusion 2.0.2 (Build 147997).
Got the merger by download and imported the Parallels 4 VM.
With the help of Windows XP Professional on MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo (OSX 10.5.6).
Whenever I chose the Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools, nothing happens.
Just change the "Cancel installing VMware Tools" menu option.
Anywhere where I can download the file and install in my Windows XP or another option?
Help, please
When you choose Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools what happens is inserts ISO Image to VMware tools appropriate in the CD/DVD of the merger and Windows if the Auto-Insert Notification does not work then you must manually run the
: \setup.exe in Windows Explorer. (Sure would be nice if VMware that would in the help file and it makes absolutely no sense that it is not there in the first place!) Note: These ISO Images are stored at: "/ Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/isoimages.
If needed you can manually mount the image appropriately, if necessary.
