Hello everyone I'm very new to the VM world I've heard about vmware from a friend. I got start using vmware workstation and was successfully enough to install vmware tools. However, I'm having problems in troubleshooting and understanding why my vmware-tools-upgrader script is not working. I went through the forums and it seems no one has had this problem other then me. The vmware-tools-upgrader script fails to upgrade the vmware tools installed inside the guest VM. The following screenshot illustrates the error we encountered:

vmware-tools-upgrader

Guest OS is Centos 5 running on windows XP SP2. Kernel-header v. 2.6.18-8.1.10.e15 Vmware Workstation v 6.0.1 build 55017

I greatly appreciate any help I can get with this problem. Thank You all in advance!!!
