Error : Unable to install VMware Tools. An error occurred while trying to access image file "/usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/windows.iso" needed to install VMware Tools: 2 (No such file or directory). If your product shipped with the VMware Tools package, reinstall VMware ESX, then try again to install the VMware Tools package in the virtual machine.
The required VMware Tools ISO image does not exist or is inaccessible.
Or
VM tools dosent give you an option to upgrade.
Solution :
1. If your ESXi host was upgraded from version 4.0 and you see errors about not having sufficient space to copy the VMware Tools image, check the /locker/packages folder and ensure there is no 4.0.0 folder. If there is a 4.0.0 folder, run this command to remove the folder and its contents:
# rm -rR 4.0.0.
or
2. Easier solution :
Download the correct VMTools from this location: http://packages.vmware.com/tools
Upload the file to your datastore. Log in to the vm and attached the downloaded ISO file via CD/DVD rom. Once the file is attached the VM tools upgrade wizard launches and if it dosent just double click on the cd rom under my computer.
