executable file. This program implements the fit-guest-to-window feature and Unity mode, among

other features.

Uninstall VMware Tools on page 36

Occasionally, an upgrade of VMware Tools is incomplete. You can usually solve the problem by

uninstalling VMware Tools and then reinstalling.

Installing VMware Tools

VMware Tools is a suite of utilities that enhances the performance of the virtual machine’s guest operating

system and improves management of the virtual machine.

Although the guest operating system can run without VMware Tools, many VMware features are not

available until you install VMware Tools. For example, if you do not have VMware Tools installed in your

virtual machine, you cannot use the shutdown or restart options from the toolbar. You can use only the

power options.

You can use the Windows Easy Install or Linux Easy Install feature to install VMware Tools as soon as the

operating system is finished installing.

The installers for VMware Tools are ISO image files. An ISO image file looks like a CD-ROM to your guest

operating system. Each type of guest operating system, including Windows, Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, and

NetWare, has an ISO image file. When you select the command to install or upgrade VMware Tools, the

virtual machine’s first virtual CD-ROM disk drive temporarily connects to the VMware Tools ISO file for

your guest operating system.

The most recent versions of the ISO files are stored on a VMware Web site. When you select the command to

install or upgrade VMware Tools, the VMware product determines whether it has downloaded the most

recent version of the ISO file for the specific operating system. If the latest version has not been downloaded

or if no VMware Tools ISO file for that operating system has ever been downloaded, you are prompted to

download the file.

The installation procedure varies, depending on the operating system.

Upgrading VMware Tools

You can upgrade VMware Tools manually, or you can configure virtual machines to check for and install

newer versions of VMware Tools.

The guest operating system checks the version of VMware Tools when you power on a virtual machine. The

status bar of the virtual machine displays a message when a new version is available.

In Windows virtual machines, you can set VMware Tools to notify you when an upgrade is available. If this

notification option is enabled, the VMware Tools icon in the Windows taskbar includes a yellow caution

icon when a VMware Tools upgrade is available.

To install a VMware Tools upgrade, you can use the same procedure that you used for installing VMware

Tools the first time. Upgrading VMware Tools means installing a new version.
