Hey there,
i run into the following problem: With the vmware player i downloaded today (VMware-player-4.0.4-744019) i can't install vmware tools. The following error message appears instantly:
"Could not find component on update server. Contact VMware Support or your system administrator."
Upon searching the web it seems like a problem specific to 4.0.2 that has been fixed within a few days. I tried deinstalling / reinstalling but without success. The guest I am trying to use is Ubuntu 12.04. However if I try to download all available tools the same error message appears for every list entry.
Any suggestions? I also tried to find the .iso to download vmware tools for linux manually but couldn't find them. If they are out there, vmware has done a great job hiding them... ;-). Or I am blindsighted.
Any hint greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
hunchi.
