Re: VMware Tools Installation problem

[Atis <atis@BEST.eu.org>]

Hi,

At first, this is Debian mailinglist, you should look for help in
Fedora or VMware support.

What i could suggest is that you shouldn't run neither .exe nor .msi
he your guest OS is Linux based, instead look for readme and some .sh
