Are you installing the Tools from within VMware? From its menus? I cannot deduct it from your menus (since I don't have Windows versions available right now).
I'm asking, because there are Open Source Tools available, usable in Linux, at least, but I'm not familiar with them. Certainly, I wouldn't use them in Windows.
You need to have Admin rights in Windows to install the Tools - if you didn't, they might not work because of that.
