Hi freinds can any body tell me how can check whether in a linux guest OS vmware tools are installed or not
ThankU
Hello,
Moved to VI: Virtual Machine and Guest OS forum.
For RedHat generally the RPM is used. To check if its installed
rpm -qa | grep VMwareTools
To remove, remove the RPM.
Another way to check if its installed is to try and run the command 'vmware-config-tools.pl'
