  Unable to install VMware Tools on Windows 10

  Posted Nov 05, 2015 05:04 PM

  Having trouble installing VMware Tools on a Win10 Enterprise VM (vSphere 5.5). Install initiates then never reports anything beyond that. Is there something special that needs to be done to make this work?

  -Thanks

  Also have installed the Update Manager plugin which is reporting compliance state incompatible.

  When installing the tools, are you choosing the Interactive Install or the Automated one? 

  Try doing the Interactive install instead. 

  I also second Andre’s comment about Firewall/Antivirus possibly blocking the installer.  Try disabling it.  Also, you may need to disable UAC.

  Looks like disabling UAC solved it. Thanks!

  In the future, you can choose INTERACTIVE, open the CD Drive in the VM and right click on SETUP.EXE and run as an administrator.

  To follow-up, I notice the Summary tab of the vSphere client often reports «Not running (Current)» for this VM.

  The original reason for the reinstall on VMware Tools was a recommendation from Veeam as this VM continually reports «Guest processing skipped (check VMware Tools status)» when backing up in Veeam v.8.

Install VMware Tools

In some cases, the Install VMware Tools option is greyed out and you cannot install the tools for the virtual machine. In this case, we cannot install the VMware Tools on our Windows 7 virtual machine.

When the VMware Tools isn’t installed. the VM screen gets smaller, and you cannot copy/paste between VM and the physical machine. Drag/ drop and shared folder features also not working.

Fix the Install VMware Tools Greyed out

1️⃣ First, power off the virtual machine that you want to install VMware Tools.

2️⃣ When the VM is not running, let’s edit virtual machine settings.

3️⃣ In the virtual machine settings page, select the Floppy then remove it. Click OK to save the changes then turn on the virtual machine.

Note
You get it because you install this VM in typical auto mode instead of custom mode.

4️⃣ Once the VM started, as you can see, you can install the VMware Tools normally.

Install the VMware Tools manually

In case if the first method doesn’t work. You can try to install the VMware Tools manually.

1️⃣ Right click on the VM tab > Removeable Devices > CD/DVD (SATA) > Settings…

2️⃣ In the VM settings page, select CD/DVD > Select the checkboxes > Select the radio button Use ISO image file > Then click Browse… button.

3️⃣ Navigate to the installation location of VMware Workstation then select the file named windows.iso (Disk Image File). This is the VMware Tools for Windows.

C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation

4️⃣ Click OK, then go back to the VM. The file would be mounted into the VM automatically. From here, you can install the VMware Tools as normal.

Once the tools have been installed, restart the VM. You can check the VMware Tools Services from the VM Windows taskbar (see the below screenshot).
