Hi,
I am using vm player 16.2.4 build-20089737. My problem is vm tools does not installing on my machine, I am getting segmentation fault every single time. I cannot use shared folder, copy panel etc. even worse I have strange network problem , I think those are because of vm tools issue. I can't do anything until fixed.. I did tried to restart vmware services and manually install open-vm-tools but did not work. I need help folks... Here is the information and logs ;

If you are running a guest OS with a modern Linux distribution, it should come with the open-vmware-tools (and open-vmware-tools-desktop?) already installed. If so, there is no reason to manually install the legacy VMware Tools.
