My host system is running Windows 7 and I have an Ubuntu Guest running 10.04 LTS. When I click install VMware tools on my VMware player. The download keeps failing with the message [Connection to the update server failed], every time. I have tried this several times and still haven't had any luck. Is there an alternative to this procedure to install tools on my VM?
Welcome to the Community,
you can manually download the tools from http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/player/

André,
Thanks, that solution works.
Consider this an alternative.
Potentially re-enable the download mechanism by correcting the software update URL.
