Unable to install VMWARE Tools for guest Windows 3.1 (under MS DOS 6.22). I am using VMWARE Workstation player 17 which run under Windows 11.
- Guest Windows 3.1 is running
- on Host Player > Manage > Install VMware Tools is selected
- virtual CD/DVD drive is configured to autodetect a physical drive
- Under 
drive I can see the VMWARE files for VMWARE tools.
- In Windows 3.1 under RUN command D:Setup.exe command is issued. After this I see some screens displayed for some seconds only and then and back to Windows 3.1 screen. Due to the fast screen displayed for some seconds only (max 3 seconds) I was not able to read the screen. I record the screens in a video and try to slow motion the video. I only see some screen with many small boxes displayed, some in black and white and some boxes in different colours. (please see attachments).
- Could it be that there is a problem with the svga drivers, which are not yet installed in Windows 3.1 / MS DOS 6.22? I tried to install the SVGA drivers in WIndows 3.1 but the most SVGA drivers I found were packaged as flp fliles. When I tried to install these drivers and allocate the flp file to the floppy drive I can not boot the guest and an error message is issued: "NTDLR is missing
Press any key to restart".
- Since VMWARE Tools is not yet instaled I do not have file sharing with the host and it is dificult to find a way to install the SVGA drivers.
- Any suggestions will be appreciated, Thank you.
