Installing VMware Tools Installing VMware Tools

The following sections describe how to install VMware Tools:

Don't Forget VMware Tools Don't Forget VMware Tools

It is very important that you install VMware Tools in the guest operating system.

With the VMware Tools SVGA driver installed, Workstation supports significantly faster graphics performance.

The VMware Tools package provides support required for shared folders and for drag and drop operations.

Other tools in the package support synchronization of time in the guest operating system with time on the host, automatic grabbing and releasing of the mouse cursor, copying and pasting between guest and host, and improved mouse performance in some guest operating systems.

The installers for VMware Tools for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and NetWare guest operating systems are built into VMware Workstation as ISO image files. (An ISO image file looks like a CD-ROM to your guest operating system and even appears as a CD-ROM in Windows Explorer. You do not use an actual CD-ROM to install VMware Tools, nor do you need to download the CD-ROM image or burn a physical CD-ROM of this image file.)

VMware Tools for Windows supports Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 guest operating systems.

When you choose File > Install VMware Tools from the VMware Workstation menu, VMware Workstation temporarily connects the virtual machine's first virtual CD-ROM drive to the ISO image file that contains the VMware Tools installer for your guest operating system and begins the installation process.

VMware Tools for Windows Guests VMware Tools for Windows Guests

The detailed steps for installing VMware Tools depend on the version of Windows you are running. The steps that follow show how to install VMware Tools in a Windows XP guest. Some steps that are automated in newer versions of Windows must be performed manually in Windows 9x and Windows NT.

Note: If you are running VMware Workstation on a Windows host, and your virtual machine has only one CD-ROM drive, the CD-ROM drive must be configured as an IDE or SCSI CD-ROM drive. It cannot be configured as a generic SCSI device.

To add an IDE or SCSI CD-ROM drive, see Adding, Configuring and Removing Devices in a Virtual Machine. For information about generic SCSI, see Connecting to a Generic SCSI Device.

Installing VMware Tools in a Windows Guest Operating System Installing VMware Tools in a Windows Guest Operating System
  1. Power on the virtual machine.
  2. When the guest operating system starts, prepare your virtual machine to install VMware Tools.

    Choose File > Install VMware Tools.

The remaining steps take place inside the virtual machine.

  1. If you have autorun enabled in your guest operating system (the default setting for Windows operating systems), a dialog box appears after a few seconds. It asks if you want to install VMware Tools. Click Yes to launch the InstallShield wizard.

    If autorun is not enabled, the dialog box does not appear automatically. If it doesn't appear, run the VMware Tools installer. Click Start > Run and enter D:setupsetup.exe where D: is your first virtual CD-ROM drive.

    Note: You do not use an actual CD-ROM to install VMware Tools, nor do you need to download the CD-ROM image or burn a physical CD-ROM of this image file. The VMware Workstation software contains an ISO image that looks like a CD-ROM to your guest operating system and even appears as a CD-ROM in Windows Explorer. This image contains all the files needed to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. When you finish installing VMware Tools, this image file no longer appears in your CD-ROM drive.

  2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. On Windows Server 2003 , Windows Me, Windows 98 SE and Windows 98 guests, the SVGA driver is installed automatically and the guest operating system uses it after it reboots. With Windows 2000 and Windows XP guests, you do not have to reboot to use the new driver.

If you are migrating a VMware Workstation 2 disk to VMware Workstation 4 and your guest operating system is Windows NT, Windows Me, Windows 98 or Windows 95, you need to configure the video driver by hand.

  1. Power on the virtual machine.
  2. After the guest operating system has started, prepare your virtual machine to install VMware Tools.

    Choose File > Install VMware Tools.

Uninstall

The remaining steps take place inside the virtual machine.

  1. Be sure the guest operating system is running in text mode. You cannot install VMware Tools while X is running.
  2. As root (su -), mount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image, change to a working directory (for example, /tmp), uncompress the installer, then unmount the CD-ROM image.

    Note: You do not use an actual CD-ROM to install VMware Tools, nor do you need to download the CD-ROM image or burn a physical CD-ROM of this image file. The VMware Workstation software contains an ISO image that looks like a CD-ROM to your guest operating system. This image contains all the files needed to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system.

    Note: Some Linux distributions use different device names or organize the /dev directory differently. If your CD-ROM drive is not /dev/cdrom, modify the following commands to reflect the conventions used by your distribution.

    mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
    cd /tmp
    tar zxf /mnt/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
    umount /mnt

  3. Run the VMware Tools installer.

    cd vmware-tools-distrib
    ./vmware-install.pl

  4. Log out of the root account.

    exit

  5. Start X and your graphical environment.
  6. In an X terminal, launch the VMware Tools background application.

    vmware-toolbox &

    Note: You may run VMware Tools as root or as a normal user. To shrink virtual disks, you must run VMware Tools as root (su -).

You may find it helpful to configure your guest operating system so VMware Tools starts when you start your X server. The steps for doing so vary depending on your Linux distribution and your desktop environment. Check your operating system documentation for the appropriate steps to take.

For example, in a Red Hat Linux 7.1 guest using GNOME, follow these steps.

  1. Open the Startup Programs panel in the GNOME Control Center.

    Main Menu (click the foot icon in the lower left corner of the screen) > Programs > Settings > Session > Startup Programs

  2. Click Add.
  3. In the Startup Command field, enter vmware-toolbox.
  4. Click OK, click OK again, then close the GNOME Control Center.

The next time you start X, VMware Tools starts automatically.

    umount /cdrom

  3. Run the VMware Tools installer.

    cd vmware-tools-distrib

    Note: You may run VMware Tools as root or as a normal user. To shrink virtual disks, you must run VMware Tools as root (su -).

Note: In a FreeBSD 4.5 guest operating system, sometimes VMware Tools does not start after you install VMware Tools, reboot the guest operating system or start VMware Tools on the command line in the guest. An error message appears:

Shared object 'libc.so.3' not found.

The required library was not installed. This does not happen with full installations of FreeBSD 4.5, but does occur for minimal installations. To fix the problem of the missing library, take the following steps:

  1. Insert and mount the FreeBSD 4.5 installation CD or access the ISO image file.
  2. Change directories and run the installation script.

    cd /cdrom/compat3x
    ./install.sh

  1. Power on the virtual machine.
  2. Prepare your virtual machine to install VMware Tools.

    Choose File > Install VMware Tools.

    The remaining steps take place inside the virtual machine.

  3. Load the CD9660.NSS driver so the CD-ROM device mounts the ISO image as a volume. In the system console, type

    LOAD CD9660.NSS

  4. When the driver finishes loading, you can begin installing VMware Tools. In the system console, type

    vmwtools:setup.ncf

  5. Restart the guest operating system. In the system console, type
