Hello,
Following up on the thread:
viewtopic.php?p=17472&hilit=vmware#p17472 which has been locked.
The fix is not working.
Attached is the installation log as well as the exported uninstall keys for vmware_tools_13.1 and for an older version, as it seems Broadcom has changed the installer's behavior.
Have a good day.

Hello jsdmc,
Which version of Windows are you using for VMware Tools?
And the contents of your tis-vmware-tools package do indeed contain the following data in the setup.py file:
Code: Select all
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuphelpers import *
def is_vmware_host():
wmi = wmi_info(keys=['Win32_ComputerSystem'])
computer_system = wmi['Win32_ComputerSystem']
if isinstance(computer_system, dict):
if 'VMware, Inc.' in computer_system['Manufacturer']:
return True
if isinstance(computer_system, list):
for v in computer_system:
if 'VMware, Inc.' in v['Manufacturer']:
return True
return False
def install():
bin_name = glob.glob("VMware-tools-*.exe")[0]
print(f"Installing: {bin_name}")
if not is_vmware_host():
error("The current computer is not VMware virtual machine !")
install_exe_if_needed(
bin_name,
silentflags='/S /v /qn REBOOT=R',
name="VMware Tools",
min_version=str(Version(control.get_software_version(),3)),
get_version=get_installed_version
)
def get_installed_version(key):
return str(Version(key["version"],3))
The message indicates the error that appeared before the modification.

Hello,
the VM is running Windows 10.
The setup.py file provided in the forum works; I tested it by recreating the package.
However, this modification is not included in the tis-vmwaretools package in your repository.
(I removed the package from my private repository, then re-downloaded it, and then edited it.)

Hello,
Great, I'm making the change on the store.
The package will be in production within 5 days, but you can find it in pre-production right now:
https://wapt.tranquil.it/store/fr/detai ... EPROD.wapt
So the problem is solved?
Have a good day,
Kevin.

Yes, once the store is updated, you can consider the ticket resolved.
Have a good day.
