When I reboot the guest Windows 7 after the installation of WMware Tools with the error messages I get an error from Windows 7:ĭevice driver software was not successfully installed VMware VMCI Host Device I am not sure about the other devices.ĭo you see 'VMware VMCI Bus Device' and 'VMware VMCI Host Device' under your Windows 7 VM Device Manager under System Devices? go to Device Manager and update drivers on the selected and select the extract folder as the location). Some drivers would be pretty straightforward to install (like video/audio) as they would be treated just as how they would with physical machine (i.e. tools, the important fix is that for the SVGA video driver as there was fix for memory usage issues.įor the extract, you would be able to see a folder called with many device drivers Another way of checking is to go to Device Manager and see whether the Display Adapter name is 'VMware SVGA 3D'.įor 12.5.5. If the VMware display driver is not installed I think the display would be limited to 800圆00 or 1024x768 (or some other low resolution). I wonder if the error messages are just red herrings but that some (if not all) of the drivers are installed.Ī visible cue would be the display.
