Problem with VMtools < 10.1.x cannot install

[MarWil2019]

Hello i just finish migration from 5.5u3 to 6.5 u2 vcenter and esx version

Next step will be upgrade hardware to 6.5 and vmtools 10.3.5

When I try install vmtools 10..1.X or newer on Windows server 2012r2  the instalation rolling back

Can samone have similar issue in past?

I do same research on web and find same issues but all was related with Visual C++ and same Microsoft KB's

I have also install Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 version 14.12.25810

kb4480964 - installed

kb4486474 - installed

kb4487028 - installed

kb4483469 - installed

I try multiple version of vmtools and looks like I canot install nothing from 10.1.X

I open the case to VMware but  since 1 months they don't found any solution

Hi,

did You try to use this MS tool to troubleshoot installation problems?

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/windows-fix-problems-that-block-programs-being-instal...

It should run on Windows Server 2012.

Try to uninstall previous version of VMware Tools using this tool first and then try to install the newest version available.
