• 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!

  A blog at http://laptopbisnis.blogspot.com/2009/04/ubuntu-904-beta-in-vmware-fusion.html this problem and the solution is to change a line in the file page.c, re - tar file updated the and then restart the installation of VMWare tools. When I try to re-run the installation of VMWare tools, however, I get the following error:

  The following VMware kernel modules were found on your system that have been

  Any help would be appreciated.

  The instructions in the blog worked well to solve the problems of hgfs.

  However, I'd suggest the following sequence:

  a. run vmware - uninstall - tools.pl (if you get what other messages on modules installed)

  b. create the vmware-tools-distrib directory

  c. apply the hotfix according to the directives of the blog page

  d. run vmware - install.pl

  If all else fails, follow the suggestion of the error message to delete the modules 'by hand' and then re-run the installation

• My computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants). How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

  As says the question: my computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants).  How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

  I'm running a full system scan in ESM right now, and it has detected multiple instances of sirefef.   I have remove as they pop up, but I'm afraid that when I run another scan they all will always be there.  Is there a way to know if MSE is actually remove them and he cleaning?  If not, should I do a back up and reinstall the OS?

  Thank you.  I can choose to try this, however, I would like an answer to my other questions first.

  Sirefef is a rootkit and yes he can hide in your system.  This is why it has been suggested that you may need to reformat/reinstall.  In fact, it's the only way to eliminate malware.  Multiple scans with several scanners and no conclusion malware probably indicate he disappeared, but the key word is "probably".  Malwarebytes is good and what he finds now may be traces of the infection, but what he finds perhaps not active more - it is always good to run the scans so.

  What spare drive did you run?  What scanners did you use?  See again you and follow the guide "Malwaretips"?

  For the firewall problem, you can try the following Microsoft Fixit.

  One of the users of the Forum answers maintains that a great guide on information security is important for understanding the removal of malicious software.  See the following compliments of Brian M - for suggestions on how to solve your problem: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide/#after see: after the removal process and solve the problems of Post disinfection

  Uninstall/reinstall of MSE is how?  All the problems?  Have you tested MSE with eicar to be sure it's working?

  Assume that you have not had an opportunity to review the MSE Installation Checklist or you would have noted that MSE and Windows Defender cannot be used on the same computer.  So if WD works in fact it means MSE has been disabled/not not work correctly or not installed.

  my download install when it reads the file "missing acroread.msi '.  How to do this?

  Hi tedm81099702

  First of all, I'm no expert, but I had exactly the same problem and did the following.  It worked for me:

  First go to this site: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.10/en_US/

  From this link I downloaded/installed the previous version of the US 11.0.10 of the drive.  Don't panic when it does not work... It gives the same error, BUT click Browse for button location and the AcroRead.msi file appears (should in any case).  Click top and then OK...

  After I installed the previous version, I then installed the new version of Acrobat Reader DC from here: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions

  It removes the old version and install.  I hope this helps!

  Could not copy a file at the location requested. Mac OS 10, Version 10.10 [1].

  I JUST bought this new macbook pro and Lightroom installed, imported 2 lots of pictures, but all of a sudden he kept denying my imports with "could not read the file" or "couldn't copy file at the location requested.  Help, please!

  Your use of the word "files" (in the plural) still makes me believe that you have not checked the permissions on the folder that is appropriate (in the singular).

  You must determine the Destination of the Lightroom Import dialog window Panel and see which folder Lightroom is really tr6ing to copy photos in (which may have been accidentally changed and is not what you may have used in the past) and change the permissions to write to this folder.

• The Installation of VMWare tools failed. In any case to force the update/install VMWare tools?

  I used to use VMware Workstation 10 and recently upgraded to VMware workstation 11.  However, whenever I try to install a newer version of VMware tools, it will fail with message saying something like "VMware Tools can be installed in the Virtual Machine.

  Yes, I am trying to install VMware Tools within the guest operating system, but I get this notification for all my virtual machines, I'm running.

  I'm under 6 Virtual Machines simultaneously and they run on Windows 7 32 bit OS and configured with 4 GB of RAM, 1CPU, 100GB HD + 5 GB second HD for the swap file, NO printer, no sound card.

  For each virtual machine, I changed about 50 + key of Windows registry and detect the values to hide from all the programs that they are running on the virtual machine.

  I assume due to records, I changed, it confuses VM installer who it is not running on a Virtual Machine.  Then I tried to change all these registers changed to send it back to the original value, yet I is always the same message.

  I must be missing either some registry values or values that I restored is false. But I don't know which is the case.

  I can simply delete all my Virtual Machines and start again with the new virtual machine, but I don't want to repeat this process whenever a newer version of the VM tools out. and installation of windows and search and replace registry values for each virtual computer is full of works.

  So, here is my question.  Anyone know how to force the update / install VM tools in my virtual machine?

  P.S. I added under scripts in the file .vmx for each of the virtual machines.  I don't think it would cause the problem but just in case I include it.

  SVGA.vramsize = 268435456

  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "" true ".

  Hello

  Thise drop what you are talking is a set of newspapers and ESXHost configuration files (e.g. unpacking, / var/log/vmkernel etc..) All files have been added to archive tgz. You can extract (sweet 7zip) Windows or Linux (gzip and tar command line tools) I have now if it a tools that will help you analyze these files.

  The only way I know to start the tuning system is fist check performace statistics by each ESXHost (CPU, RAM, i/o per each LUN) for example. for the last days of servén. check when you have peaks on graphs, then go in newspapers of that period of time and start analysing what is.

  Should I move the virtual machines from the first RAID at one of the others? Whipe then come out the scores and perform ESXi 4.1 installation?

  Yes, it's a way to do this.

  Unfortunately, the ESXi 4.1 installation wipe the disk to complete installation (or logical volume) as you have experienced. Assuming that "logical partitions VMFS" you mentioned are logical volumes actually created in the RAID configuration (presented as individual of the operating system disks), you can migrate the virtual machine that is currently stored on data store of the installation disk to a data store on one of the other logical disks and then install ESXi.
