hey, i just mounted the VM installer, did not worry about extraction of the archives or the tons of other crap you find. all i had to do was run these commands. tar -xvf /media/$USER/"VMware Tools"/VMwareTools*.gz -C /tmp and the last command. sudo /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl -d this last command is very interesting because the d means default settings will be implemented, it will ask you to put yes or no but you don't need to type anything, it took me a wile to figure that out.
