VMware SVGA 3D driver 8.16.7.8

[xc2]

Dears,

Who can help supply the driver 8.16.7.8 of the SVGA 3D?

The driver 8.16.7.8 came with VMware Tools 11.1.1
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tools/11.1/rn/VMware-Tools-1111-Release-Notes.html

Assuming your guest OS is Windows, get 11.1.1 from here
https://packages.vmware.com/tools/releases/11.1.1/windows/

You can extract individual drivers by executing from command line (for 64-bit Windows VM)

setup64 /a

You put a folder where you want the drivers to be extracted to. Once you extract the drivers, you can manually update the driver from Device Manager by browsing to folder where you extracted the drivers to.

Hi ,

Guest OS:Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Compatibility:ESXi 7.0 U1 and later (VM version 18)
VMware Tools:Running, version:11333 (Current)
so could you please guide me how can I extract the driver from the VMware-tools-windows-11.1.1-16303738.iso?

Best Regards

Assuming you have access to the Windows 10 VM.

Mount the ISO to the VM just you would for any VM (e.g. ESXi HTML client add a virtual CD drive with the ISO or copy the ISO to the VM and mount it from within the Windows VM).

Execute from command line within the VM (for example, mounted ISO is Drive E inside VM)

E:\>setup64 /a

You would be prompted where you would extract the drivers to; but just show C: You specify a folder of your choice (e.g. C:\VMtools)

Once that’s done go to the Device Manager and update the SVGA3D driver manually.

Alternatively just uninstall VMware Tools and install 11.1.1 without going through the extraction process.

Don’t quite understand why you want that specific version of SVGA 3D driver. These days, Windows Update would also deliver updates to VMware drivers (including the SVGA 3D driver).

Yes, followed your guiding, the drive was downgraded to the older version.

Thanks a lot for your help!!!
