    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thomas,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can't answer why the script still tries to install after detecting no X server.  However have seen this over the years so the quick fix is to create the directory.  The longer fix is to edit the script to comment out the commands.  I can make the directories far quicker.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;BTW, If you found the answers helpful or useful, please consider awarding points.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mike&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;root # vmware-config-tools.pl&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It looks like you are trying to run this program in a remote session. This&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;program will temporarily shut down your network connection, so you should only&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;run it from a local console session. Are you SURE you want to continue?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://communities.vmware.com/no"&gt;&lt;/A&gt; yes&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Stopping VMware Tools services in the virtual machine:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   Guest operating system daemon:                                      done&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   Guest memory manager:                                               done&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The vmxnet driver will not be installed since the e1000 device is the supported&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;high performance networking device for 64-bit systems.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;No X install found.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Unable to copy the source file&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;/usr/lib/vmware-tools/configurator/autostart-vmware-user.sh to the destination&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;file /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/9999.autostart-vmware-user.sh.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Execution aborted.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;root #&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any help is appreciated ... kind regards, thomas&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; Have you checked ownership and permissions?  I've usually seen this error when there is a ownership/permissions mismatch but it could also be caused by no destiation directory.  /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d would be where the XWindows information is located.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; Do you have a /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d directory?   - if not you can try creating the directory.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Try the ls -l command on the directories and make sure the onership/permissions are the same.  If they aren't use the chown command to set them the same.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;HTH&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mike&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Mike,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanx for the quick feedback. I created the directory by hand and run the script again which then works (at least ESX Server says, VMWare Tools are ok).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But this doesnt answer my question. This is a server, there is no X installed, so /usr/dt/... is not existing (grep /usr/dt /var/sadm/install/contents).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't understand why the config.pl tries to copy the file, when it has already detected, there is no X.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;$result = configure_X();&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;    $gFeatureInstallResults[$cFeatureInstallIDs{'xserver'}] =&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;        $result eq 'no' ?  $cFeatureInstallFailed : $cFeatureInstalled;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;... instead of ... cannot work&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;    if (vmware_product() eq 'tools-for-linux' ||&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;        vmware_product() eq 'tools-for-solaris') {&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      configure_autostart();&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;    }&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;should'nt it do something like&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;    if ($result eq 'yes' &amp;amp;&amp;amp; (vmware_product() eq 'tools-for-linux' ||&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;        vmware_product() eq 'tools-for-solaris')) {&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      configure_autostart();&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;    }&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;kind regards, thomas&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
