Just one of those things when they designed msi packages I guess. VMware Tools is a critical part of your vSphere environment. This should give you the knowledge to integrate the deployment of VMware tools in an silent fashion using a simple command line script. Download The first thing is to download VMware tools. Just pick your flavour: VMware-tools In fact if you look at the file size for the 32 and 64 bit files they match: I tend to use this package if I do ad-hoc updates to VMware Tools on an existing OS install.
So how do you know what the individual component names are? Depreciated from vSphere 5. The steps to install VMware Tools vary depending on your VMware product and the guest operating system you have installed.
To set up productLocker to point to shared datastore, see KB Upgrade of VMware Tools to version The following driver versions are supported by VMware Tools Workaround: To workaround this issue, manually set up the repository file on the virtual machine.

I clean boot the software from the CD and it starts up normally then about 5 min. I doubt that i have a virus on the computer i have done very minimal work on the internet and the only software that this computer has been exposed to is the Server If anyone has any ideas of how to trouble shoot now that would be great.
It seems very odd that i would get this error trying to boot from a new software on the computer. Monday, July 11, PM. Is it 0x7b?
Then later you'll be prompted to insert the manufacturer supplied Windows driver for your drive controller in drive "A" Probably the files named oemsetup.
Ok, so i did that it opened up a new menu that prompted me to hit "S" with which it replied there is no floppy to boot from i either had to continue without the new drivers "esc" or abort install "f3" i continued and BSOD'd at the same part, never received the option to hit A to select a new source for drivers. Do i need to switch to disc 2 or pre-install disc when prompted to load new drivers?
Also thank you very much for the help you are providing. The only disc is the CD drive and i would assume that it is bootable, i dont know why it would not be. Regardless i am still trying to do the unattended installation but having issues with that. The issue is i have to modify the I and add an additional folder in which to put the drivers but the only I file is on the CD drive and is unmodifiable.
Ok, i am in the process of doing this. Just so i am clear once i am done and have the new burned CD, then will i use that as the instalation CD or insert this into drive when prompted to hit "s" during the installation? Will this remove the necessity for the unattended installation, because i was unable to complete that process when i opened the word document to modify the file the file text was different and i could not find the exact file that the guide listed.
Hopefully that will not be necessary with the burned disc with integrated drivers, my question is how i will apply that burned copy. Thank you.

Typically the performance is so different that people get soured on virtualization and don't even look into ESX. If you're going down this route and I highly suggest you do then use VMware Server with the grain of salt that there is very little performance similarities between the free and Enterprise products.
Also, VI3 is it's own world, requiring all kinds of specialized knowledge. I wouldn't recommend using it until you've done some pretty extensive research. As for server imaging, I've only ever used Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery BESR and it works really well allowing you to backup live servers, incremental image backups and restore to dissimilar hardware.
