Cannot install vmWare Tools for v6

$

0

System configuration:

  • vmWare Player 6.0
  • Windows 7
  • Guest environment Slackware Linux 14

 

I have setup a VM using the Player successfully and installed a LINUX distribution. When I try to install the vmWare Tools using the command Manage->Install.. nothing happens. I would have expected that the Player would connect an iso image to the virtual CDRom drive, but nothing has happened.

 

It seems to me that the Player does not download the tools although I have an active internet connection. In the Program folder I have not found any files.

 

Since I have installed an older version of the Player before (3.0), where I have observed that the tools have been downloaded, could it be that Player 6 believes that the tools have been available once already?

 

Any suggestions?

 

Mike
