Where is the menu item "Install VMWare Tools"?

All the instructions I find assume that everyone can find it.  I'm under Fusion and I can't.

The top bar has "Suspend", "Take a snapshot" 'Dismantling' and 'settings '.

The last one is the most obvious choice, but obviously I've meandered through the

window that appears very well.  None of the Fedora menu items have be

("guest OS").  So WTF are people talking about when they say, "select" to:

Virtual machine > install VMWare Tools

Where is the menu 'Virtual Machine '?  There is no such animal.

Take a look at the picture below!

  • Upgrade to 2.0.6 Fusion and when "install VMware tools" is selected - nothing happens

    First time poster.  Search discussions but have not seen a solution to my situation (I hope that I was not missing).  After you have made the choice to install VMware Tools, the option under the Virtual Machine then offers a selection of "Cancel VMware Tools Installation" but seems to be charged is stuck.  Yellow warning sign icon at the bottom right highlights "VMware tools can be improved" and when you click it, a context menu appears asking permission for Windows host process (Rundll32) to run and do so brings the VMware tools properties but clicking OK or update tools does nothing.

    Any help would be appreciated.  I am running Snow Leopard with Vista in my VM.

    When clicked on install VMware Tools in the menu of the Virtual Machine that fusion inserted the ISO image in the CD/DVD and in the case of the Windows OS if the VMware tools set up does not automatically that the user must manually run the setup.exe from the CD/DVD drive.

    If for example you should just start button and in the search box, type d:\setup, where "d:" is the drive letter assigned to the CD/DVD and then the installer should appear in the list and you can just double-click it.

  • Impossible to install VMware Tools in Fusion 2.0.2

    Just migrated from Parallels 4 to VMware Fusion 2.0.2 (Build 147997).

    Got the merger by download and imported the Parallels 4 VM.

    With the help of Windows XP Professional on MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo (OSX 10.5.6).

    Whenever I chose the Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools, nothing happens.

    Just change the "Cancel installing VMware Tools" menu option.

    Anywhere where I can download the file and install in my Windows XP or another option?

    Help, please

    When you choose Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools what happens is inserts ISO Image to VMware tools appropriate in the CD/DVD of the merger and Windows if the Auto-Insert Notification does not work then you must manually run the : \setup.exe in Windows Explorer. (Sure would be nice if VMware that would in the help file and it makes absolutely no sense that it is not there in the first place!)

    Note: These ISO Images are stored at: "/ Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/isoimages.

    If needed you can manually mount the image appropriately, if necessary.

  • "Easy Install cannot install VMware tools"

    As I began to create a virtual machine for Ubuntu 12.10, VMware Player displays a message indicating that it recognizes this OS and install it and VMware Tools with Easy Install. "Good idea," I thought to myself 'I am all in favor of easy'.

    And the installation went great, until VMware Player try to install VMware Tools. This is where the process has frozen and not exceeded. Now, whenever I try to start my VM the screen says "install VMware Tools... Please wait. »

    How can I fix?

    Personally speaking General and I use Easy Install, especially with the Linux Distros!   With some Easy Install distributions do not properly size the volume/boot, causing issues later during the upgrade of nuclei.  I don't like what he does with it two CD/DVD of configuration and how it leaves things when doing even if it can be cleaned manually to the top.

    I recommend not to use is installed and instead select "I will install the operating system later" and then create a manual installation of the Linux operating system and then install VMware Tools then.

  • How to install VMware Tools in Ubuntu guest with no Internet connectivity?

    I need to install VMware Tools in a Guest Ubuntu (10.04) running in VMware Player.

    The machine on which it is running has no internet access; It is part of an isolated network.

    I know there are a LOT of instructions on how to do it, and it seems that they all begin with "mount your ISO file...". ' or "click"Install VMware Tools..."."

    Of course, I have not and cannot find a file ISO of VMware tools for Ubuntu.  I admit that I can be looked in the wrong place, but I watched several times and have spent many hours on it.   I tried Open VM Tools as well and followed the instructions included, but orders did not produce the responses described.

    When I click on "Install VMware Tools" the machine just made several attempts to connect to a server that will never happen.

    Although it does not prove that I know what I'm doing, I installed VMware Tools on several hosts of Windows XP.  For some reason, I was able to find many versions of VMware Tools for Windows ISO.  The installation worked everytime with very little hair loss.

    Thanks for any help on this eternal question.

    You will need to download the ISO images for the VMware Tools installation media at least once, on a computer with internet access.  Player menu--> File--> Preferences of the player.  Click on the button download now all components.  Once complete, there will be 6 ISO files in the folder of the player.  You can copy them to the same location on the PC that you are currently underway.  Then, you can follow the instructions to install VMware Tools in a Linux Guest, located in the help file.

  • How to install vmware tools in a virtual machine running in the drive on an Ubuntu host?

    I have a host of Ubuntu (Ubuntu LTS 14.04.2)

    I have a virtual of Fedora (4.0.4 - 301.fc22.x86_64) and I would like to install vmware tools in the virtual machine.

    When I select the player VirtualMachine-> reinstall VMware Tools...

    I get a prompt in a box on the screen.  It is said:

    The following software are available for download:

    VMware Tools for Linux version 9.9.3

    What do you do?

    X Cancel |  Download and install

    Of course I choose to download and install (kind of silly question - why I want to cancel?)

    So instead of download the tools I want to install, it says:

    Your permission is required to install an update to VMware.

    Please enter the root password to move forward.

    Password: __________

    not serious.  Now, he's looking for what root password?  The virtual machine or the host?

    I have try the virtual machine and it works-not "incorrect password... try again."

    ... well Ubuntu is not a root user.  So, I try the password for the user with root privileges

    "incorrect password... try again."

    Then, he does not.

    Not very satisfying.

    The instructions that I found in my research right you will say to take the step to obtain the Tools package then (well, nothing of the rest of it is important if the tools are not available to me).

    Suggestions?  Advice?

    The required password is for the host.

    A workaround of functions is "sudo su -" of ubuntu host, then start vmplayer from the root prompt.  You must browse the virtual machine since the user doesn't have a history of openness yet... but then there is no prompt asking for a password when you try to download the tools.

  • 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 ".

    insulation. Tools.getptrlocation.Disable = 'true '.

    insulation. Tools.setptrlocation.Disable = 'true '.

    insulation. Tools.setVersion.Disable = 'true '.

    insulation. Tools.GetVersion.Disable = 'true '.

    monitor_control.disable_directexec = 'true '.

    SMBIOS.reflecthost = 'true '.

    memtrimrate = '0 '.

    mainmem.usenamedfile = "false".

    sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "false".

    prefvmx.userecommendedlockedmemsize = 'true '.

    Tent Installer to get the version information of the hypervisor of underling to see if it is a VM or not.  This is done by contacting by back door.

  • Cannot install VMware tools - "cannot find the component...". »

    I created a Windows XP Pro VM under a host Windows 7 Pro using Player 4.02. When I try to install VMware tools I get the message "can't find conponent on the update server. Contact VMware support or your system administrator. "The host and guest both can work a network connectivity and the internet. I saw at least another poster on another forum mentioned this error message and told him to install by mounting the ISO and install it manually. I looked in every subdirectory of the installation of the reader and any windows.iso file could not be found. Is it supposed to be there in this version of the player? If this is not the case, how can I get the iso? Any help is appreciated.

    This question will probably be corrected in the next few days and I see this with other versions.  Right now the last repository showing is: http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/player/4.0.1

  • menu of hyperlink is displayed when text is selected, not when the Menu item is selected. And of course does not display the available links. Where I'm wrong?

    Try to make hyperlinks in a menu item. If I select the menu item, the menu of hyperlinks is not displayed in the menu bar. If I click on new and then the tex in the link is selected, the hyperlink menu appears but the drop down menu does not offer the available links. Where I'm wrong?

    I think you use a menu by default on the page?

    It's design of menu by default, because they are already linked with the respective pages that you can't change.

    You can try to create the menu manual.

  • Install vmware tools on the linux host offline

    Hello world

    I run a Fedora 10 VM using vmware player 3.1.2 on a crowd of Ubuntu 10.04. I'm trying to install vmware tools, but my host doesn't have access to the internet.  I've seen a few posts on how to install vmware tools offline on a windows host (http://communities.vmware.com/thread/245195), but the advice given may not be valid for linux hosts.  I downloaded vmware-tools-linux - 8.4.4 - 301548.x86_64.component.tar of http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/ but this tar file contains a .component file (not an .iso that post said).  My question is what I should do with the .component file to install vmware tools?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Jordaan,

    Welcome to the forums.

    Try the following:
