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!

  • PSE8 Mac will not install

    After launching the installation process on the DVD system and entering the serial number, the installer says "preparing to install" and then nothing happens. It's on my new iMac 21.5 '' LED screen end of 2009 under Snow leopard OS X 10.6.2

    I also tried installing on my 2007 Macbook and had the same problem: click on the install button that briefly fades and then becomes white and nothing happens.

    I tried to copy the folder Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 on CD and on my iMac, as suggested a review on the Amazon PSE8 Mac page that had the same problem and trying to install that does not work either. Note: I made sure that Safari is not running that caused an error message when you reinstall my old PSE6 on my iMac.

    Could this be a faulty DVD PSE8? I posted this issue in the Support Portal on 19/11/2009 Adobe customer and did not respond.

    I was really looking forward to familiarize themselves with the new features of PSE8 for the Thanksgiving holiday and am very disappointed by this turn of events!

    Since except PSE6, you have no other product installed Adobe, then PSE 6 uninstall should remove Bridge CS3 as well. You can cross check that. Let us therefore this thing - uninstall PES 6 (through the uninstall Adobe program), check that all Adobe applications have been removed from the system, delete the folder next to the system by moving it to the trash and empying the trash.

    \Library\Application Support\Adobe\

    Install the new PSE 6 and then install PSE 8. Let me know if it works otherwise, we will have an internet session where I will try to see if I can solve this problem.

  • Remote Desktop for Mac will not use the printer driver

    On an iMac with Lion 10.7.3, I try to get an Epson ReadyPrint T20 - TM to use the Epson driver when it is connected to our server Windows 2008 R2 with DRC 2.1.1 but it keeps using a HP Color Laser Jet 2800 Series PS we have not the HP printer and I need some features in the Epson driver.

    I installed the printer on the server and removed several times without alteration. When 'Use a printer connected to the Mac' is selected in the preferences of the DRC the printer is a printer that is redirected, but the use of the driver of HP. Printing from Mac works with all the features.
    On the server, we have 3 installed roles, file, desktop Services to remote and Web server (IIS) Services
    We have tried to map the printer with an EPSONRedirect.INF file that contains the following:
    ; EPSONRedirect.INF
    ; Printer mapping file for drivers side client-side Server

    "EPSON TM - T20" = "EPSON TM - T20 ReceiptJ4"

    I already copied files lesson on my hard drive as shown in the book, however there is no screen autorun, or even a shortcut/icon that says that Adobe Photoshop, the same applies to Adobe Bridge.

    Here is a link to the shop student - you should qualify for a discount through your school. I do not see CS6 there, then you may have to get the cloud instead to get the discount.

    The filesystem (vmhgfs module) driver is used only for the shared folder

    feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work

    regardless of this function.

    If you want the shared folders feature, you can install the driver of

    running vmware-config - tools.pl once after being assured that gcc, binutils, make

    and your kernel sources are installed on your computer.

    These packages are available on the installation of your distribution CD.

    Seems to work fine with the tools in the recent update to VMware Fusion 6.0.3:

    http://www.VMware.com/go/downloadfusion

    Certainly the tools should be updated in order to support a view recent guests of Ubuntu Unity (disabled, sofar, also with 6.0.3 + 14.04): maybe in Fusion 6.1, who knows...

  • Flash player will not install white Installer, full download? tool remove flash?

    Untitled.pngWindows 7 64-bit, Firefox, Explorer, Chrome

    For a long time flash player will not install (updates for upgrades).

    If I go to the home page that I can download the 1 MB file then open it and the installation box opens but never does nothing and is all black except for the top bar. I can not even close. I have to 'end task' it. I has been underway for a year or two.  I usually find a link to the version of the full installer, but don't find it anymore.

    Is there a tool to remove all the remains of Adobe flash player?

    Link to the full installer version of the player?

    I tried to uninstall all versions, but still the same problem

    Thank you

    Wow, I saw a post from m_vargas (personal Adobe): this is a known problem, so obviously there is a problem that nobody knows how to solve. Fix Adobe is use use only Chrome or installer - reinstall your operating system the offline. Great job Adobe.
