I just upgraded from VMW Fusion 3 to 4 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8. My virtual machine runs Win 7. The upgrade of VMWF and compatibility change for the Win7 VM seemed to go seamlessly. No problems. I clicked on to update VMWare tools, and that too seemed to go flawlessly. No error messages and all seems to be functioning. However, when I go into the Virtual Machine menu now, the menu has a listing that says "Reinstall VMWare Tools". I don't recall from v3 if that is the normal menu item name or does that indicate there is a problem with VMWare tools? Given all seems well, I'm thinking it is a normal term, but I don't recall what it was in the previous version.
