Hi, I got this problem described here when I upgrade tools from esxi4.1 to 5.1.
Have someone with success manage to create exclusion lists to get vmtools upgrade to work ?
We are using TrendMicro Officescan, and it helps to manually unload officescan on servers before upgrade, but it´s a manuelly work on each servers.
Thanks, Magnus
Hi,
Can you share a error print screen if possible ?
If I ran vmtools upgrade interactive MSI are are failing with this error "The wizard was interrupted before VMware Tools could be completely installed."
I think I have solved it now.
Exclusion folder lists for Win2003 Server:
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools
c:\windows\temp\vmware-SYSTEM
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware
Win2008 R2:
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools
c:\users\All users\VMware
c:\windows\temp\vmware-SYSTEM
I´m not 100% if c:\program files\common files\vmware\drivers are needed to be excluded
