BootCamp (Mac BootCamp Support - VMware Fusion only) 10).VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Services Support) 7).The blue ones are not visible in the GUI: Here is a complete list of the components. In the Features table you can find all components of the package, and you will notice that there are a lot more than what is displayed in the standard installation GUI (see picture above). I used Microsoft's Orca editor to open the MSI files and look at its properties. These setup programs are just wrappers for the Microsoft Installer (MSI), and if you start them they will extract an embedded MSI file to your personal temporary directory. On the VMware Tools ISO image you will find a setup.exe program for 32-bit versions and a setup64.exe program for 64-bit versions of Windows. I did this with the latest Tools version of vSphere 5.5, and here are my findings. VMware tries to make this very easy by providing means to automate the VMware Tools installation/update (through the vSphere legacy and Web Client, and PowerCLI), but in a lot of environments there is a requirement to take complete control over software provisioning on Windows servers and/or the need to customize the VMware Tools installation and remove unwanted features that are installed by default.įor this purpose you will want to take a careful look at the VMware Tools MSI package. It is a good practice to update VMware Tools on your VMs after you have updated your vSphere environment to a new major or minor release.
