Maybe it does not occur when you just create a VM thats not a converted physical machine. **Note - all the VMs I was creating were VMs from converted physical machines. The only way out seems to be installing it from the CD-ROM drive.
So there is still this issue, at least from what I have experienced, with Windows XP, WMware Fusion 2.0.4 and the installation of the VMtools from the pull down menu. I then tried the above solution, and it installed to finish. Just to be sure that this was indeed the issue, I created a new VM from scratch(see note ** below) and tried to install the VM Tools from the pull down menu and again it hangs. You may also want to look at: VMware Fusion menu bar > Help > VMware Fusion Help > Managing Virtual Machines > Configuring the CD/DVD Drive then point it directly to the VMware Tools Windows ISO file ("/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/isoimages/windows.iso") and then start the Virtual Machine and DO NOT SELECT "Install VMware Tools" from the Virtual Machine menu! Just go straight to the CD/DVD-ROM Drive in Windows and execute the setup.exe.
In the CD/DVD Settings sheet select the Use disk image: radio button then in click the list box and select Choose. (You could do this without shutting down the Virtual Machine however under the circumstances it may be best to just shutdown, make the following changes and continue on.) If not you may have to manually mount the VMware Tools window.iso file.Īt this point go ahead and select Cancel VMWare Tools Installation from the Virtual Machine menu and then shutdown, not suspend the Virtual Machine. If you go into My Computer (Windows Explorer) and look at the CD/DVD Drive can you double-click to open it and see the setup.exe and then if so double-click the setup.exe? That said, I finally got it installed using a suggestion you gave on another thread: The "Installation Finished" window does not show up. I don't see VMware tools in the control panel or even when clicking the icon(It does get installed to some extent, but hangs towards the end.
