  Call 'VirtualMachine.MountToolsInstaller' of object 'Fedora20' on ESXi 'esxi-mgmt' failed.

  I ssh'd in the host and it is isoimages->/productLocker/vmtools listed in Red listed, but does not seem to exist.

• VMware Tools not settled in XP Pro Sp3 invited

  I think that VMware tools is supposed to install drivers for these (SCSI), which are of unknown devices in my device manager and Vga adapter but it crashes in normal and safe mode on my xp after manual installation running.  Have also tried to folder on the drive.

  Anyway to get these installed and get VMware tools running?

  Also MY XP hangs after logging in normal mode and in safe mode I get error blue screen after awhile 0X0000008E and similar.

  Yes I am the administrator also - I'm using the official XP administrator account (account first when it was setup) but still the problem.  There maybe some group policy or the registry thing/permissions setting (I have set permissions as approved for the application installer and still issue).  Don't know what else to try.  In any case thanks for trying to help.  Let me know if you think of something else.

  Hi I think that question could have been set by the combination of responses - I tried to configure the virtual machine through my windows 8.1 host VMWare converter standalone 5.5.1 - selection only add Vmware Tools (later) and remove restore points and after responsible for this virtual machine without register suspended or system crash or wedging.  VMware tools of the 6 worm drive was also loading and installation had to find setup.exe and run it from ISO loaded manually (when selected for the installation of the player window - Player - manage - install Vmware Tools).  However obtained related permissions errors and install the first roll back (see attached screenshots).  Then I loaded the regedit and set of local service, service network and administrator name real current user in its entirety with all permissions to access these key: HKLM system services and under software - perflib under Microsoft - Windows NT - current worm (although the latter do not know if it had to) - missed me the perflib key being added if it based on another doc help on the internet.
  Then restart may have helped also but Vmware tools installed without error and in Device Manager I also removed any? and unknown devices, but my SCSI and VGA drivers now loading properly.

  Thank you and thank all those who contributed to this issue - so seems a problem now solved.  Your answers have helped keep research regarding permissions and versions of vmware and reminded me to try to reconfigure etc. have been so helpful.  I hope that these positions help others facing similar problems.

• The VMware Tools ISO image does not exist or is not accessible

  I have a few virtual machines with a yellow exclamation mark on the vmware tools icon indicating that they can be updated. When I try and update vmware tools manually, I get the error: "VMware ISO image tools exist or is inaccessible. See the error of the stack for more details on the cause of this problem".

  I got messages stating I must check vmtools directory symbolic links and I think that those who are present. I also tried to manually navigate to the image file, but it seems that there is a problem any with the file system. See the images below:

  

  ESXi installed on a USB key. The directory of the iso images is corrupt? Can anyone help me on how can I fix? Should I just replace the USB key, or is there another way?

  See the input / output error on the screen usually indicates a faulty drive (or in this case device USB). I wouldn't waste a lot of time and replace the USB key.

• 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!

  Verify that the checksum MD5 or SHA1 of the file windows.iso in the working directory of VMware Workstation is as indicated below.

  For version windows.iso of VMware Tools file 9.2.2.894247:

  MD5 = 8d9a47fddf3988bb1fcb62bb21d3fa8f
  SHA1 = 6a55b0d276a3442589d6a4892fa8759e8ca42712
  

  These values have been generated, based on the extracted windows.iso file of Tools-windows - 9.2.2.exe.tar should be the same one included in the WS 9.0.1 installed.  Note: The checksum SHA256 for the file windows-tools - 9.2.2.exe.tar has been verified against its value published prior to extraction.
