VMware Tools Error (Unity Plugin)

Hello,

I have the error in Windows 2k8 R2 from VMware tools which is kinda unknown....

[ warning] [vmusr:unity] ToolsOnLoad: Unity Plugin failed to initialize.

Does anybody knows what it means?

I get this error only on Win2k8 R2, XenApp 6.5 VMs.

In your guest VM:

  1. Explorer > c:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\plugins\vmusr.
  2. Locate unity.dll and delete it (or move it to another folder).
  3. Either log out+log in or reboot the VM.

You'll then have full Tools functionality sans interference from the Unity plugin.
