Thanks for the solution to yet another extremely annoying VMWare problem. This one was actually the well known "limit" that made us look for another Virtual solution. VMWare is clearly not ready to meet the world... or maybe it's just us not ready for VMware. :-D Anyhow, it has buggy crap written all over it, must be related to Microsoft.

Sorry but it's more easy, just edit the vmx file with notepad and change the config "EasyInstall" to FALSE.

Just that

I Explored The Floppy Drive On The VM (On My Drive A, There An Image Mapped Automatically By Easy Install), Then Copied All Files Into %TEMP% Dir, Then Executed The Batch File: unattend.bat With Admin Privileges.
It Will Start The VMWare Tools Installation And Then Reboot The Station

After modifying this settings I selected to install VMWare Tools.. It is started seemlessly..

Hi!

I had the same problem, This is my solution - Go to VM menu-> Settings ->Options -> Tools -> Mark Update automatically at next power on

Next Disconect floppy drive or if you have a Laptop select the Use Physical drive (You get the error message, but don't worry) then install the VMTools

@G-El: You're fantastic. That exactly solved my problem. Connect the floppy and from My Computer navigate to A: and run the exe file. VMWare tools will begin to install in a few seconds.

Thank you all!

2010-01-07T03:02:03.075-05:00

I had the same problem, i figured the reason for this is that i disconnected the floppy disk image before the install, apparently that's where the easy install image gets triggered from. So after installation, and with the floppy disk disconnected though pointing to the image, vmware tools were not installed, what i did was let the floppy disk point to an actual device (although it does not exist) and when the machine started it prompted to remove the device and all worked normally.
Hope this will help anyone :)

I believe I looked at the floppy image thing. I took it out of the vmx file, although now I cannot remember for sure it was attached in the properties of the vm machine. I think not but cannot say for sure. If it happens again, I will look for sure.

thanks,

Delco
