Failed Install of VM Tools on NT4

[johnwilk]

V2V'd NT4 virtual machine (ESX3.5U4) using vSphere Converter to ESX4iU1.

Started VM = OK.

Tried installing VMtools - "The wizard was interrupted before VMware Tools could be completely installed."

Tried with both AMD PCNET adapter and VMXNET adapters.

Tools vminst.log states - "Error creating dictionary for tools manifest file"

Any help much appreciated.

NT4SP6

Problem fixed by reapplying the support pack prior to tools install

I have exactly the same log entry on my Windows NT4 SP6a machine.

What support pack did you reapply to fix it?

[johnwilk]

Hi,

I re-applied the available latest service pack (NT4SP6a)

Hope this helps
