VMware Tools update fails

When I run a virtual machine, I get a popup telling me that a new version of VMware Tools (version 8.8.2) is available. If I click to download, update the product for awhile then stops with an error box saying that there was a problem updating the component.

As far as I can tell, I have VMware Tools installed 8.8.2. How can I remove this popup?

Running VMware on Linux CentOS 5.8 8.0.3.

With the machine off, go in the Edition-> Preferences-> updates and and uncheck the two boxes «» That should do it.

WS 7.1.4 - impossible to download VMware Tools/Update

Hello!
Sorry for creating another post on this subject, I see many others have the same problem, but none actually provided what I needed.
When you try to update, it hangs on the connection ()https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds).
I have improved my vmware installation (download manually), but for some reason any packages msi with the tools got an error during installation and has never been installed, now miss me all VMware Tools.
When I try to visit the following url:
https://softwareupdate.VMware.com/VMW-desktop
I get "File not found", and I tried this on several machines, on the 3 different inet-connections, all the same.
For some reason, I'm able to enumerate:
http://softwareupdate.VMware.com/CDs/VMW-desktop/WS
But when I enter the 7.1.4 - folder, I get "file not found".
So that someone knows the reason for this, or can give me the direct link to all the tools for WS 7.1.4?
I looked everywhere on vmware.com for download stand-alone tools... It could have been so simple
Thanks a bunch!

VMware tools install fails - Centos 6.2 on VMware Workstation 8

Some setting in context.
ArcSight make an OVF vmware assessment based on Centos 6.2. I am able to install VMware tools on the ESXi 5.1 platform supported but NOT on VMware Workstation version 8.0.6 build 1035888 which is apparently not supported but works fine on my laptop.

The big problem here is that the time on the host computer is massively adrift without VMware tools and make more from the point of the eval worthless SIEM.

System analysis tool update fails with error 0x800704c7

After having the problem that Windows Update crashes on 'check updates', I followed the recommendations on http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows7/what-is-the-system-update-readiness-tool, installed the preparation tool system update, but unfortunately after several hours, it failed with error 0x800704c7.

If looking for updates to hang on a current installation,

Be sure and go to uninstall a program and see which Microsoft Net framework you have installed.

4.5.2 is more consistent to have installed,

https://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=42642

Switch your windows update setting to never check the updates temporarily

Restart the machine

You can try and install the latest client update manually let your update settings to never check for updates until you install it.

Install it and restart when prompted too after he did a search of stand-alone for updates that should not

updates before running from the downloads folder.

Once it installs and restarts

VMware Workstation 11 crashes after installing VMware tools

As you may already know, VMware has just released a major update for 11 workstation (including VMware tools updated). Workstation now works almost perfectly. I don't have accidents since then. This means that I have was right in my post above. This is indeed nothing more than a BETA version of VMware buggy, lazy, masked as a "final". Wow, it looks like that a respectable company like this would not resort to such unethical practices. I mean that you would expect this kind of crap of a company like Electronic Arts, but VMware? Come on guys, you're better than this!

5.1 - VMware Tools of Patch ESXi510-201212402-BG has not detected if necessary

We recently upgraded to vSphere 5.1 and update the VMware Tools with the package included, build a 782409 on all of our Windows customers. We have been harassed by her vomit of Event Viewer ' error in the RPC receive loop: RpcIn: cannot send ' as laid down in the Patch ESXi510-201212402-BG. I used Update Manager to push ESXi510-201212402-BG to all our guests. Running ' esxcli software vib list ' on the hosts indicates that the generation VIB light-tools has been updated. However, all VMs in vCenter appear as 'Running (current)' and when you log in the operating system, the VMware Tools icon in the system tray does not indicate that an upgrade is waiting as previously on 4.1 where he showed the little yellow exclamation point. If I run the installation/upgrade VMware Tools, the new version, build the 913578, is installed. Why isn't the new detected VMware tools and view the virtual machines running the older generation as being obsolete? What triggers it?
As a side note, I was disappointed as everything I read about VMware Tools 5.1 declares "nondisruptive upgrade VMware Tools - after you "
upgrade to the VMware Tools available with version 5.1, no. that it recharges will be necessary for the subsequent updates VMware Tools. " This is not true of all that construction installation 913578 on top of the 782409 require a reboot.

Use the Update Manager to confirm that you have a base line called "VMware Tools update to Match Host (Predefined). Attach this baseline to your virtual machines and a scanner. This will determine if your VM Tools are up to date.

Yes I agree, VMware have misled us on their VM without tools do not reboot!

Is it possible to change the settings for VMWare tools?

Hello

We have just upgraded all hosts in ESXi Release 5.1. Virtual machines are updated with the latest VMware tools & upgraded to the latest Version of hardware.

We find that there is no option for us to change VMware Tools option (like: with ESX Server time synchronization). We wonder if we can change these settings and how.

Your opinion is requested.

Thank you
