In this article, we have shared the manual VMware Tools download links for Windows, Linux, or macOS guest operating systems that you have installed on your host computer using one of the VMware Workstations, VMware Fusion, or ESXi virtualization software.
How to Manually Download VMware Tools ISO/EXE for Windows, Linux, and macOS Virtual Machines
To increase the performance of the virtual machines you have installed on your host computer or to transfer files between the host and the VM, you need to install VMware Tools. Installing the drivers for the guest operating systems you have established with VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion, or vSphere ESXi enables features such as better mouse experience or fitting screen resolution to full screen.
To install the drivers for a Windows, Linux, or macOS guest operating system installed on the virtual machine, click VM / Install VMware Tools from the tool menu. You do not need to download this package because it is integrated into Workstation and Fusion programs.
What’s the Benefit of Installing Virtual Machine Tools?
- It fixes the low video resolution issues.
- It improves insufficient color depth.
- It fixes the issue where the network speed is displayed incorrectly.
- It improves restricted mouse movement.
- It enables copy-paste and drag-and-drop for files.
- It fixes the missing sound issue.
- It enables snapshots of the guest operating system to be taken.
- It synchronizes the clock on the guest operating system with the host.
- It installs the hardware drivers of the virtual machine.
- It allows you to use the virtual machine in full-screen mode.
Download for Windows Guest Operating Systems
It is possible to manually download VMware Tools to update or install the drivers of all Windows guest machines you have installed on your host computer using one of the virtualization software.
After visiting the web page containing the latest version of VM Tools tools by clicking the button below, you can manually download the 32-bit or 64-bit or ISO file to your computer according to the architectural platform of the system you have installed.
Download
Download for Linux Guest Operating Systems
The VMware company allowed the downloading of virtual machine drivers for Linux guest machines as tar.gz file extensions on its official website. However, the company has changed the decision to download this file for Linux systems, suggesting that it be followed on its GitHub page.
To install the drivers for Linux guest operating systems more efficiently, click Install VMware Tools from the tool menu of the virtualization software. However, installing VM Tools on Linux machines instead of Windows guest machines can be a bit difficult. Therefore, you can install the drivers for your Ubuntu virtual machine by visiting this article that will guide you.
You can manually download the tar.gz extension package to your computer after visiting the Open VMware Tools for Linux webpage, which is constantly updated on GitHub, by clicking the button below.
Download
VMware Tools (Darwin.iso) for macOS Guest Operating Systems
What is Darwin.iso?
Due to situations arising from Apple’s agreements with VMware, installing macOS systems using Workstation software on Windows platforms is not officially supported. However, installing the macOS operating system using VMware Fusion on a Mac computer is formally endorsed.
Therefore, the Darwin.iso file from Fusion software is needed to install drivers for macOS guest machines on Windows or other platforms.
After installing your macOS guest machine, you can install the integrated VMware tools in the virtualization software on your guest system. You don’t need to download VMware tools externally. Still, it is recommended that newer versions be installed as the Darwin.iso file is updated when newer Fusion software versions are released.
In addition, you can install the drivers of macOS guest machines on ESXi server virtualization platforms with the VMware Tools inside using the Darwin.iso file.
Download the Latest Darwin.iso for macOS
You can download the latest Darwin.iso 13.0.0 file published by Fusion in the folder we shared on Google Drive by clicking the button below.

Conclusion
To summarize, you can increase the performance of your virtual machines thanks to VMware Tools. Therefore, you both improve the user experience and increase the functionality. Under normal circumstances, when you install a guest system, the video resolution will be problematic. But by downloading this tool, you can adjust display settings and enable things like file transfer as well.
In some cases, you fix the network experience of virtual machines. In short, you should get VMware Tools to maximize the capabilities of your virtual environment. As a result, keep in mind that you should always install the latest version of guest software.

There are cases in which within virtualisation environments with VMware, it is necessary to download and install an old version of WMware Tools, or to search for a specific version of this software for a specific operating system version.
To access all these versions of VMware Tools, we can do it from the following url.
For these cases, we have the following URL: https://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/index.html
This is a WMware repository with a list of all the versions released to date, including the latest, of course.
Download VMware tools – version matching
In many cases it is necessary to know the ESXi version correspondence with the version of WMware tools that we are using. To know this information, it is possible to do it from the following link.
https://packages.vmware.com/tools/versions
Download the latest version of VMware tools
If we want to install the latest version of this set of tools, we can do so by entering the folder named ‘lastest’. There you will always find the latest version available.
Download VMware tools for Windows: EXE or ISO
If we want a version of VMware for a Windows operating system, we can find it in two different formats: EXE or ISO.
VMware tools in ISO format
To access the available ISO versions, we must enter into the Windows folder
Once inside, you will see the ISO version available.
VMware tools: Windows formato EXE
To access the EXE version, inside the Windows folder there are two other folders, depending on whether it is Windows x64 or Windows x86.
Inside each of them will be the corresponding EXE.
VMware tools: Linux REPO
For Linux RedHat Enterprise Linux or CentOS operating systems, the VMware tools are not integrated into the Linux distribution by default. The same is true for other distributions such as SUSE Enterprise Linux 11.4 or lower or Ubuntu 12.04 or lower.
But despite this, we can always add a repository so that we can install and update them from the package manager of the corresponding distribution.
Inside the repos folder, we will see the packages to install in order to install the repository and thus add it as another repository of the distribution.
In higher versions such as RedHat Enterprise Linux 7 or CentOS 7, we will no longer have this problem as the VMware tools are inside the distribution in the form of Open VMware tools.
VMware tools: Linux RedHat/CentOS RPM
The VMware tools are also available in RPM format for individual download.
For example, for RHEL6 on 64bits:
