    Anyone know if there is a VMware Tools64.MSI in v5? I can't find it anywhere on the tools ISO.

    Any updates here?  I'm trying to get group policy installation working again but I can't do it without an MSI.

    Solution:

    Click Inventory, Virtual Machine, Guest, Install VMware tools

    Select Interactive Upgrade.

    Goto CDROM and run command setup.exe /a  or setup64.exe /a

    The VMware Tools64.msi or VMware Tools.exe will be extracted !

    cheers,

    Thanks Jan. That created the MSI for me which is great but when I run it it says it can't find comreg.exe in \Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools.

    Hi Andy,

    I noticed that this MSI is not working properly.

    There are some file missing during installation.

    When you do a setup.exe /passive  then it is working. ( launching under RESSoftware Automation Manager 2012 )

    I think this is a support issue for VMware.

    I will ask my friends for a solution.

    cheers,

    Jan
