Hi all,
Did a clean install of a ESXi host version 6.5.0.
First VM was a Sophos UTM. I could install VMware tools on that VM.
Just added a VM, Windows 10. I 'm not able to install VMware tools on this VM.
Tried to install VMware tools when the Windows 10 VM was powered off.
Through the vSphere webclient I start the installation of VMware tools.
I see the task 'Mount Tools Installer' end successfully, but nothing else.
The CD drive mounts: ISO [] /usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/windows.iso.
Any ideas?
Thanx Jaap
Look in the File Explorer and if the VM Tools CD is mounted , it will Say "VM Tools" for one of the drive letters. if all else fails you can try this https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=10039....
You should install the VMware Tools with the Windows 10 VM powered on. If nothings happens after starting the installation, you can login into the VM and run setup.exe or setup64.exe from the CD drive.
Hi,
I know it will be a stupid question. Which CD?
Windows 10? I dont have one. Upgraded from Windows 8.1 of Internet.
ESXi 6.5.0 is an .iso
Sorry.

Hi,
Totally correct answer.
DVD was mounted. Running Setup64.exe - install completed.
Many thanx!
