VMTools installation fail on Readhat 5

[AlanTang]

Hello:

When I try to execute "rpm -Uvh /tmp/VMwareTools-7.8.5-156735.i386.rpm" it display a error message as below.

file /usr/bin/vm-support from VMwareTools-7.8.5-156735 conflicts with file from package vmware-esx-scripts-4.0.0.0-0.4.164009

May I know how can I install it?

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Moved to the Virtual Machine and Guest OS forum.

You will need to remove esx-scripts before installing the VMware Tools.

May I know how can I remove the ESX script? Where I can identify it?

Thanks!

Hello,

Looks like you have the RCLI installed or something like that.... use

rpm -e vmware-esx-scripts

if that does not work get the full name using:

rpm -qa | grep -i vmware-esx-scripts
