Hi,
I'm new with vmware and I'm kinda struggling with basic installation of windows 7 in vmware. *Maybe* there's something wrong with my HW (few days old), I do not know, but Virtual box fails completely(blue death in win, then host OS crashes).
Host OS is ubuntu 13.04.
latest vmware player installed, windows 7 installed and working. vmware tools cannot be installed.
After boot up of windows, dialog is raised, that I should download vmware tools, I confirm that, and it (always) fail. Sooner o later (30% of progress is max). Error messege is just "try again later or contact admin". Sometimes ubutu reports app crash during that: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xafk3qeun0vht1x/Sn%C3%ADmek%20obrazovky%20-%2025.6.2013%20-%2021%3A55%3A09.png
After some uneasy search I did found, that this can be downloaded manually from
download apropriate version, installed it in guest system, in host system I've installed open-vm-tools, restarted, but nothing changed.
Error complaining about missing vmware tools at startup is still there, download still failing.
What can be wrong / what's proper way to install vmware player completely?
thanks in advance.
Martin
