Missing Vmware services win 2008 x64 R2

it would apear vmware tools is not installing properly in win 2008 64 bit R2. I only see 2 of the 4+ vmware services Vmware tools service and the VMware upgrade helper. the snapshot service is completly missing.

when i had this missing in the past it was due to com+ being disabled. the problem is this R2 is a fresh install with no additional security lockdowns or patches. The other issue is the vmware tools is yet again not reporting the failed services and reporting a tools success.

Any suggestions?

Aloha, I do not believe 2k8R2 is supported by VMWare as of yet.

is it truely that different as for it not to work? Does normal 2008 work as normal or is there anything you must install before vmware tools?
