As a rule, I will virtually never write a deliberately flaming title. But really, what I write is the truth. I have been unable to update VMWare Tools for Windows for months now. I just tried to update (as I was pestered) VMWare Player to a new version, and that too failed. Server issues?
Nor is it obvious how to download the needed version of VMware tools separately and apply the update.
I will now look for a replacement to VMWare player. I was actually going to use the Workstation a year or so ago, but the quality fo support for THAT was miserable.
Note that I have used VMWare products for many years. I know what the company used to be. Nowadays, the only thing this company seems to care about is major institutional users.
Finally--and I don't care if I have riled any of you--I have reported my inability to update vmware tools here before. Nobody bothered to help.
