Hi,
Host: Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit
Guest: Windows 8 pro 32bit
uname -a:
Linux learningpc 3.8.0-19-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 1 16:35:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
VMware Player: 5.0.2 64 bit
After installing this Windows guest I'm trying to apply VMware Tools.
So when in the guest doing "Virtual Machine"/"Install VMware Tools..."/"Download and Install" results with the following errors:
1) "There was a problem updating a software component. Try again later and if the problem persists, contact VMware Support or your system administrator"
2) "Error: There was a problem updating a software component. Try again later and if the problem persists, contact VMware Support or your system administrator."
Screenshots attached.
After some researching I managed to found this URL:
CDS Repository - /www/stage/session-32/cds/vmw-desktop/player/5.0.2/1031769/linux/packages
So I downloaded the following package:
vmware-tools-linux-9.2.3-1031769.x86_64.component.tar
Untared it, made chmod +x to the resulting vmware-tools-linux-9.2.3-1031769.x86_64.component file and tried to launch the file with
sudo ./vmware-tools-linux-9.2.3-1031769.x86_64.component
The error is:
./vmware-tools-linux-9.2.3-1031769.x86_64.component: 1: ./vmware-tools-linux-9.2.3-1031769.x86_64.component: Syntax error: redirection unexpected
So I tried:
./vmware-tools-linux-9.2.3-1031769.x86_64.component
and received:
bash: ./vmware-tools-linux-9.2.3-1031769.x86_64.component: cannot execute binary file
At the moment I am completely stuck. Please anyone kindly help with this issue.
Thanks!
