VMware tools will not install on Windows 2000 comments: "Setup failed to upgrade windows install.

Just installed VMware player 5.0.0 on a host windows 7 to run a guest OS for win2k.  Going to install VMware tools, the installation program starts as expected but gives the error dialog box, ' the installer could not upgrade windows install "and closes.  How can I install VMware tools?

See attached screenshot.

Thanks in advance.

Service Pack installed inside the 2 k VM?

AFAIK the installer needs to SP 4

  • How to get address Virtual Machine MAC on which vmware tools is not installed

    Hello

    I'm putting the MAC address of a virtual machine in a string. At first, I was using this script:

    strMACAddress = objVM.guest.net [0] .macAddress;

    But as indicated in the title, the vmware tools are not installed on the virtual machine. I found a similar position in vSphere Web Services SDK:

    http://communities.VMware.com/thread/254204

    In this post, it is specified to use the script VcVirtualEthernetCard() object. I'm new to Orchestrator and I do not understand how to make a "myVcVirtualEthernetCard" link to my virtual computer object 'objVM '.

    Example:

    IN: objVM (VcVirtualMachine)

    OUT: macAddress

    var myVcVirtualEthernetCard = new VcVirtualEthernetCard();

    macAddress var = myVcVirtualEthernetCard.macAddress;

    Thank you for your help.

    Kind regards

    Hello!

    You can browse the table config.hardware.device of the virtual machine:

    IN: vm (Vc:VirtualMachine)

    DEPARTURES: Macaddresses (Array/string)

    //initialize macAddresses array (to make a push() possible later)
    macAddresses = new Array();
    var deviceArray = vm.config.hardware.device;
    if (!deviceArray) throw "Error getting hardware config array of VM";
        System.debug("deviceArray: " + deviceArray);
    //loop through array, find NICs and retrieve there MACs
    for (var i in deviceArray) {
        var currentDevice = deviceArray.pop();
        if (currentDevice) {
            System.debug("currentDevice: " + currentDevice);
            if (currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualE1000 ||
                currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualPCNet32 ||
                currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet ||
                currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet2 ||
                currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet) {
                    System.debug("found network card on " + currentDevice);
                    macAddresses.push(currentDevice.macAddress) ;
            }
        }
    }

  • How to get the MAC address of the virtual machine on which vmware tool is not installed

    Hello

    In our project, we communicate to vCenter/ESX and details of virtual machines using the VI - Java 4.0.0 SDK APIs

    I use PropertyCollector for details.

    But in the following cases

    1. a virtual machine is poweredOff.

    2 VMware tool is not installed on the virtual machine.

    I am not able to get the mac using the PropertyColector address.

    To get the macaddress property I use after crossing spec:

    rootFolder (folder)-> childEntity (data center)-> hostFolder (Folder)-> childEntity (ComputerResource)

    -> host (Hostsystem)-> vm-> guest (GuestInfo)-> net (GuestNicInfo)-> macaddress (in Virtualmachine)

    I know the vSphere client uses the VI SDK to perform all operations, and I am able to see the macAddress of VirtualMachine in cases using vSphere client.

    Is any body please help me get the macaddress of VM in the two cases.

    Thank you

    Deepak

    Take a look at the dashboard feature of the virtual machine and specifically "VirtualEthernetCard": http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.device.VirtualEthernetCard.html

    When you assign a new vNIC to each virtual machine, a unique MAC address generated is given by default. If you still want to map the actual interface of the guestOS, then you would take a look at guestInfo as you may have noticed IF you have the VMware Tools. Although the default is whence the MAC address

    What should I do?

    Looking at your mistakes, you seem to have an earlier version of the tools which are not uninstaled or tools are coming from another source when the installation program checks the files are already claimed. I first uninstall everything that claims these files and possibly clean/regen your db packace if necessary. Then, reinstall the tools and see if you still get errors with no alert clobber.

  • VMware tools are not installed

    I have vmware player v6 on a windows machine

    I installed windows 7 as a virtual machine on a windows computer, but I can't get vmware tools to install - because the installation process does not start.

    In the vmware window, I click on manage/player/install VMware tools and nothing happens, never. I get no start installation upward. So I tried also to start/run/D:\setup and I get "Please insert a disc into the dvd drive. It's so useless, nothing I will get the installer to start and after trawling google ages each page says the same thing, which is what I tried already and who never works. WTF |. I have to do to get the vmware tools installer to run?

    Edit: I also tried to download and tools-windows - 9.6.1.exe running and who has done sweet FA as well.

    If you are using VMware Player 6.0,1 on a Windows host and you want to install VMware Tools in Windows 7, then do what follows is workaround to which question you encounter that does not automatically download the VMware Tools.

    Tools-windows - 9.6.1.exe.tar on the host, not the comments, download and unzip it.  Then run the file tools-windows - 9.6.1.exe.  This (silently) installs VMware Tools for Windows (windows.iso) in the working directory of VMware Player.  You should then be able to install VMware Tools normally on the Menu, but if it doesn't work then fix the windows.iso of CD/DVD virtual machine and run the installation from the Windows virtual machine.

  • VMware Tools will not be upgraded after ESX 3.5 Update 4

    I just updated our ESX 3.5 Update 4 host and now our VMs show there is an update for VMware Tools.  However, the update fails near the end of the upgrade with error 1722.

    Any thoughts on what could be the cause?

    -Ken

    The solution that works for me for this error to this machine virtual (operating system Windows 2003) was to start the following services.

    • Distributed Transaction Coordinator. (usually a culprit for the failure of the installation I found anyway...)

    • Application system COM +.

    If these services where not started, start this service and retry the update or install.

    You can stop these services (if you want) once Setup is complete

    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!

    Recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. After that, a lot of problems to do Office 2003 and 2007 to play nice. Finish by uninstalling and reinstalling both. Now, applications seem to be happy, except for Word 2003 AND 2007, eager to relocate whenever they are launched. The biggest problem now is that the Office SP2 will not install. Tried registry cleaning, download .exe standalone and as an administrator and also using the tool PatchRegCleanup - x 86 .exe (which gives me a message "productcode must be determined" and makes me want to go out).
