vm-guest-tools.bat - Server 2016 issue about packer-windows HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi,

Just a quick update....

It looks like the 7Zip MSI installer file is not being created in C:\Windows\Temp. Might be permissions issue so will take a look at that.

Cheers,

Hey.
Basically, for me, I had to extract the MSI package from the VMware Tools install EXE (you can run a command to extract the MIS files - just do a quick Google search. I can't remember the command offhand). I couldn't get the installer EXE to work at all. So, in my Windows answer file, I copy across the VMwareTools64.msi to C:\Windows\Temp and then call the MSI package from the bat file:

cmd /c msiexec /I C:\Windows\Temp\VMwareTools64.msi /qn ADDLOCAL=ALL REBOOT=R

Hope that makes sense!
