Did you enabled the VMware Tools debug logging ? VMware KB: Enabling debug logging for VMware Tools within a guest operating system

Not 100% but seems there is a typo on VMware KB:

Instead of use:

[logging]

log = true

vmtoolsd.level = debug

vmtoolsd.handler = file

vmtoolsd.data = c:/tmp/vmtoolsd.log


Try this:

[logging]

log = true

vmtoolsd.level = debug

vmtoolsd.handler = file

vmtoolsd.data = c:\tmp\vmtoolsd.log


And create the folder C:\tmp if this not exist.
