Chapter 5 Installing and Using VMware Tools
For example, to install everything but the shared folders driver, type the following on the command line:
msiexec -i "D:\VMware Tools.msi" ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=Hgfs /qn
The SVGA, Mouse, BusLogic, VMXnet, and MemCtl features are children of the Drivers feature. This means that the following command skips installation of the SVGA, mouse, BusLogic, vmxnet, and MemCtl drivers:
msiexec -i "D:\VMware Tools.msi" ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=Drivers /qn
To include a feature, use it with the ADDLOCAL option. To exclude a feature, use it with the REMOVE option.
Install VMware Tools in a Linux Guest
Before you begin, make sure the virtual machine is powered on and the guest operating system is running.
To install VMware Tools in a Linux guest
1
On the host, select VM > Install VMware Tools.
If an earlier version of VMware Tools is installed, the menu item is Update VMware Tools. If the current version is installed, the menu item is Reinstall VMware Tools.
2
On the guest, log in as root.
3
If your Linux distribution does not automatically mount CD‐ROMs, mount the VMware Tools virtual CD‐ROM image.
a
If necessary, create the /mnt/cdrom directory:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
b
Mount the CD‐ROM drive.
Some Linux distributions use different device names or organize the /dev directory differently. If your CD‐ROM drive is not /dev/cdrom or if the mount point for a CD‐ROM is not /mnt/cdrom, modify the command to reflect the conventions used by your distribution.
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
4
Change to a working directory (for example, /tmp):
cd /tmp
