This is not the solution to the issue.  There is a problem with the VMWare update server.  If you open a web browser and put in the URL, it looks like works fine.  Click vmw-desktop for example, it takes you to https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/vmw-desktop  Which does not exist.  I noticed if you manually put in the link for the next folder (https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop), you get there fine.  It happens in each lower folder, not just from https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds.  It is as if the links take you to ../vmw-desktop instead of ./vmw-desktop.   

You are replying directly to the reply I made:

Re: VMWare Player Can't Connect to VMWare Update Server

Your reply to me really has nothing whatsoever to do with my reply as my reply to DavidMays is meant only as a workaround until VMware gets things squared away with the current VMware Player 5.0.1 release!

Also the URL behavior you described is by design as VMware really doesn't what users walking through the update server in this manner and why I only provided version specific links for the VMware Tools ISO Images in the linked reply! Smiley Wink
