I seem to remember a bug in ESX 3.5 where it failed to correctly parse the open-vm-tools version (TOOLS_VERSION_UNMANAGED). Could you try modifying it in lib/include/vm_tools_version.h to say "(0x7fffffff - 1)" and see if that helps a little? I believe they included the fix in some update of ESX 3.5 (or VC, don't remember exactly where the problem was), but I don't follow those updates very closely. -- - Marcelo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
