VMWare Tools failure on vm with Windows server 2008 R2 SP1

I have VMWare Workstation v16.2.2 build 19200509

I am creating a vm with Windows server 2008 R2 SP1.

Vmware did not automatically install, so I downloaded VMWare tools, v11.3.5 from the VMWare website.

But this will not install.  It throws an error about VSOCK and Memory management needs to be installed manually and the bails out at the end.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can try older versions: https://packages.vmware.com/tools/releases/

No idea which ones work with 2008 though.
