Re: Installation of VMware Tools.

Hi,

you can install vmware tools after guest operating system. Normaly, installing the vmware tools is easy process.

I really don't like use the "easy install" feature.

Check this vmware's KB abount installing vmware tools:

You should install the build-essential package in the Ubuntu virtual machine, to be able to install smoothly the vmware tools.

Hope this helps you Image may be NSFW.
