This a quite old version, perhaps you will think about update (1.0.8).
The vmware-tools are part of the VMWare Server installation. They are part of the five iso-files (freebsd.iso, linux.iso, netware.iso, solaris.iso and windows.iso) that are stored in the application directory of VMWare Server.
Usually, you will access the tools by the Menu "VM" - "Install tools". Which does not more than mount the appropriate iso as CD to this guest.

Some Linux are not configured to "autoplay", so after clicking the menu, inside the guest virtual nothing happens. But you should be able to manually mount the cd with something like:

• mount /dev/sr0 /mnt

or if your kernel is older, perhaps:

• mount /dev/hdc /mnt

wherever your cd device shows up (dmesg could tell it).
