How to get rid of annoying popup about vmware tools

Host is windows 8.1 and is airgapped. Therefore it cannot download vmware tools itself and you have to provide them manually.

Windows 7 has been installed in a VM using Easy Install.

VMware tools have been installed to the VM by connecting the windows.iso extracted from the following archive previously downloaded from here:

https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/ws/16.1.2/17966106/windows/packages/tools-windows....

Despite the installation being complete, it still produces this annoying popup in every boot:

VMware Tools for this virtual machine have not been found on your computer. Without VMware Tools, Easy Install will not fully complete. There may be a version available online; would you like to download and install VMware Tools if found? Download and Install or Cancel

How do you get rid of it?
