• VMware Tools for Mac on EsXi 5.5

  I'm trying to install VMware Tools on a Mac on my 5.5 EsXi box.  I get the following error:

  VMWare Tools upgrade error

  Call 'VirtualMachine.MountToolsInstaller' for the 'host name' object on EsXi host failed.

  VIX 21003 = error code

  Anyone where I can download Vmware Tools for mac on an EsXi 5.5 box?  Perform a google search, I am led to this page to download VMware Tools:

  Index of /45848/tools/esx/5.0

  However, this site lists only on Windows and Linux.  I do not see any version of Vmware Tools Mac.

  Nevermind, I was able to get rid of the error message by removing my cd player.  Its strange that after mounting will cause this error.  Also its strange that there isn't any downloadable version online.  But no matter I got it solved.

• 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 Player 5 can not install on Win XP feedback tools

  I have VMware player 5.0.0 build-812388 running on Ubuntu 11.10 (core 3.0.0 - 26-generic). I use it to run a Windows XP Professional SP3 client.

  I used to have the VMware tools installed on this prompt, but after a recent update (I don't know which), I noticed that I was getting warning dialog boxes on my graphical configuration. I uninstalled VMware tools (via Add/Remove Programs) and reinstalled (via the player's Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools...), but it does not appear to be installed. There is no VMware Tools applet in the control panel and no icon in the status bar. I have tried different combinations of uninstall, reboot, reinstall, repair, etc., but he is still missing.

  How can I properly install VMware Tools in the virtual machine again?

  VMware has removed the applet of the control panel and system Notification in VMware Player 5 and VMware Workstation 9 icon so that you see is normal and expected.  Some features of VMware Tools are available in the configurations of the Virtual Machine on the host side.

  How can I properly install VMware Tools in the virtual machine again?

  If you have already uninstalled/reinstalled you don't need to do anything.  If you can drag and drop files between the computers in office then VMware Tools are installed and working.  Also if the unit and the VMware shared folders work (for supported operating systems) once again here are the signs that VMware Tools are installed and working.

• 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.

• VMware tools for windows 98

  I'm fighting for two hours just to find the @$ & #^! VMware tools for Windows 98.

  For admins:

  Is it so difficult to include a link and a line on the site somewhere?

  With so many questions posted here, you already know that you don't have to make it all work automated, so in many cases a manual alternative is the only option.

  After the installation of Windows 98, there was a message that Vmware tools OS installed but I still only 16 colors, 640 x 480 res and an answer that is worse than a slideshow, so I guess that no Vmware tools have been installed.

  I tried some of the ISO images here https://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/index.html but they are not accepted for the player or the operating system.

  So, Vmware tools option exists for Windows 98 or not?

  Hello

  you do not have the option:

  Player - manage?  (because theire you might normally before the installation process) to mount the iso,... and so on

  have you tried to mount the Iso local player manually? (not the source vmware Web)

  you have enough disk space?

  Best regards

  You can install it via the tools provided with your ESXi installation. Right-click the virtual machine in the inventory and select comments-> installation / upgrade VMware Tools.

  

  This will mount a CD player in the guest operating system, providing VMware tools. The steps to install on CentOS (i.e. RHEL base):

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # mount/dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom

  Mount: block device/dev/sr0 is protected write, read-only installation

  There must be a link of just download somewhere? I scoured VMWare.com nothing helps...

  I can find of the OSP for other platforms (SUSE, Ubuntu etc), but nothing for Windows! Why?

  Any help really appreciated!

  Kind regards

  Tony.

  So you are saying I need to download the latest version of ESX/vSphere and then extract the VM Tools of which rpm?

  It might be a way to get them, if you are unable to install the product.

  The version will say vSphere 4.0 be OK for ESXi 3.5 VMs?

  Yes

• The VMware Tools installation cannot be started manually while Easy Install is in progress.

  When I try to install Vmware tools I agree... "" The VMware Tools installation cannot be started manually while Easy Install is underway "and I can't find out how to disable the easy installation and I am sure that its even not used because the operating system is in place and working well.  I searched the forum and google, but in vain :/  I'm running Ubuntu 9.10.

  If you have autoinst.flp in the VM directory - rename

  If you have autoinst.iso in the VM directory - rename

  where these files are present and/or configured in the vmx - the virtual machine will be launched in automatic installation mode that prevents the connection files iso vmware-tools

• 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!

• 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?

• VMware Tools for FreeBSD using Server 5

  Hello

  We run VMware Server 5 and I installed a RELEASE of FreeBSD 8.2 Guest 64-bit on the system.

  I'm trying to locate the installer of VMware for OS tools, but I can't find it anywhere.

  The vmware-tools cd that goes up is only for Linux and not * BSD.

  I have Google would be like crazy, but couldn't find anywhere to download the edition of FreeBSD.

  Could someone point me in the right direction?

  Thank you

  You have the Version/OS invited under change the settings from-> Options tab-> General Options on FreeBSD? If this isn't the case, that's maybe why you get bad VMware tools.

• Cannot install VMWare tools for linux

  Hello

  I use VMWare player 3.1.4.

  I have a machine, Ubunto 11.04 on which I'm trying to install VMWare tools.

  However, the download process always stops with an error: "not recognized update server data (4007). Try again later... »

  Try disabling the web Updater by going to Preferences > uncheck the "check the Web for updates at startup".

  You can uninstall and then install vmware player.

  You can also get the tools using Apt - get, instead of by the bias of the player interface. See this page:

• Is ESX VMWare tool for distance learning classes?

  I'm trying to understand the VMWare tool to meet our needs, and Googling does not do me much good.  Can someone point me in the right direction please?

  I'm a software trainer.  I'm at a client site.  Sitting in front of me are 12 students who are here to learn how to operate a particular software.  Each of them needs their own separate PC that contains the installed package.  Each student must be able to start and stop services on this PC.  Now, I could install a separate VMWare image on each of their PCs, but it is about 15 GB of space that they have not necessarily available, and I have to trust them to delete their hard drives after class is over.

  OR... I could tell the students to 12 separate virtual machines running on a server remote back in my office.  I think it looks much better than 12 individual facilities on 12 PCs, that may not be appropriate for the task.

  So, what tool VMWare should I for it?  And once that is installed on the server at my Galactic headquarters in Timbuktu, how do students access a specific 12 images running on this server, in order to run programs and start and stop the services in this image exactly as if it were an image VMware installed on their own PC?

  Thank you!

  If it's something you need NOW, the best bet would be to deploy 12 VPC via vCenter or your ESX host, enable RDP on the VPC and RDP in each vPC.  This will give you access to each student for the own work station.

  Since space is a problem on the physical devices, then VMware Workstation may not be your best bet right now.

  Now you can take a look at VMware View
