Hello, Not sure if this is off topic or not. I am having problems installing VMWare tools on my Windows XP virtual machine using the latest version of VMWare fusion on Lion 10.7.2.
the virtual machines menu item in the VMWare menu bar contains an item "Update VMWare tools". When I select that I get a dialogue saying that the VMWare tools virtual CD is being attached. the Windows installer then gets going but after a while it tells me that I have an error 1316 which says that there is a network error reading c:/windows/installer/vmwaretools.csi. I looked in that directory and c:/windows/installer is not there. A side effect of all this is that VMWare tries to re-install VMWare tools every time I start the Windows XP virtual machine. If I cancel the attempt to install VMWare tools the Windows XP system seems to work fine. Any thoughts on what is wrong and what I can do about it? Is it a VMWare bug? Many thanks.
