I've seen this on a few random installs, usually installing it interactivly solves the problem. John W. Cook Systems Administrator Partnership for Strong Families

Why is it that on some VMWare VM’s, VMTools will not install? I can find no errors nor any consistency. Locally, we are currently running ESX 3.5. I see the failure for VMTools to install on some Windows 2003 machines. On others, created at about the same time (within a day or two), VMTools installs on them quickly with no issues. Several weeks back, I created my first Windows 2008 server on an ESX 4.1 system. In vCenter, I gave the command to install VMTools. Only recently did I log back into that particular VMWare environment. I happened to check on the server I had created. In vCenter, “Summary�, it shows that VMTools were not installed. In vCenter, clicking that VM, then “Guest�, I see I have only the option to cancel the installation. (Likewise on the ESX 3.5 VM’s on which VMTools would not install.) Again, anybody know why VMTools simply will not install on some VM’s? -- Richard D. McClary Jr Infrastructure Architect, Information Technology Group ASPCA® 1717 S.
