• Problem downloading VMware Tools

  I am running VMware Workstation Pro 12 (12.1.1 build-3770994) on Windows 7. Whenever I start VMware Workstation and then to start a virtual machine, software updates window opens:

  "The following software are available for download: VMware Tools for WIndows 2000 or later version - version 10.0.6.

  If I click on the button to download and install it, it goes through the download and verification phases, but fails during the update phase, including a generic error:

  "There was a problem updating a software component. Try again later and if the problem persists, contact your system administrator or the VMware Support. »

  The details of error only I can find is in the log of the user interface:

  I can't find any explanation of VMUICOM error 0 x 80004005.

  Note that this error occurred before before the 12.1.1 update and is still ongoing.

  I think that building tools that currently is 10.0.1.357.

  No idea how to solve this problem?

  It turns out that the problem was caused by McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention 8 running on the host computer. It is the firewall component, not the component virus protection.

  Part of intrusion detection is 'VMware Workstation shielding - file Modification. Probably there's some bad signatures, because he sees any attempt to change the files .iso in VMware Tools as an attack.  This includes:

  • Installation of VMware Launcher, as when VMware is modernized
  • Windows Installer that are managed by the system, for example when VMware tries to download and install new tools
  • User who attempts to remove or rename files

  So the tools .iso files are frozen in time: they cannot be changed even by a complete uninstall and reinstallation of VMware Workstation, and still less a version upgrade.

  The surprising thing is that a change to a file is blocked by the HIP, which is well beyond what you expect normally to a firewall.  That's why it took me so long to realize it was the root cause.

  Work is about to open the HIP interface, and then temporarily disable Host IPS in the IPS policy. While the IPS is disabled you can go forward with VMware Workstation or tools to level, then turn on IPS.

  The permanent solution would be to get McAfee to fix the signature HIP. There are release notes that say that this is not the first time the functionality of VMware Workstation armor has had false positives.

  The VMware tools install probably brought to light the specific video driver for VMware view. Try reinstalling VMware View Agent and be careful on the VMware Tools updates.

• Where to download VMWare Tools

  Where can I download the VMWare tools that work with Ubuntu 11.04?

  JSYK Ubuntu 11.04 is not a supported load (or host) guest OS in VMware Workstation 6.0.4 and I don't know if the version of VMware Tools in VMware Workstation 7.1.4 will work properly with VMware Workstation 6.0.4 However either first backup the VM or take a snapshot and you can try with the next file.

  • Tools-linux - 8.4.6.exe.tar

  After downloading, you unzip archive and then run the .exe file that results.  This should extract the linux.iso file in the working directory of VMware Workstation how you should be able to select install VMware Tools normally or if necessary, point the CD/DVD on the linux.iso.

• 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.

• Impossible to uninstall VMWare Tools

  My installation of VMWare Tools apparently did not succeed.

And now, I don't have access to Windows virtual network running. How to uninstall? Are these tools clean?

• Impossible to install VMware tools in Win 2012 R2 guest

  Hi all

  just upgraded merger 7.0.1 for 7.1.0 because I thought that he could solve this problem:

  After you have configured the client Win 2012 R2, I try to install vmware tools, choosing the option in the VM menu. But I always get the message "not available for this customer to vmware tools" (hope translation is exactly the same of my installation of German fusion...).

  Only the seams Win 2012 R2 to be affected. Linux, OS X, Win XP/7 works fine.

  Any idea?

  Thank you, david

  I met the same problem.   You need to do a manual installation of the vmware tools (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=1003417).

  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.

• VMware Tools downloadable independent of the player?

  Done VMware installs it for the different available for download VMware tool.  At the end of the day, it's just a setup.exe, or the platform appropriate installation program that must be run on the client.

  I was just waiting for player 3.0.1 get about 80% of the way through the Tools download before it gives saying the connection to the server has expired.

  At least the tools of update mechanism works on Fusion, the player seems to have a lot of problems with what should be a simple task.
