![]() ![]() ![]() Assuming the yellow exclamation mark over the VMWare Tools icon in the system tray is legitimate, what is it asking me to do? Why is it displayed? And then why is the "Upgrade VMWare tools" menu item grayed out and unavailable for selection?Īs I had said earlier, I DID try uninstalling VMWare Tools through Control Panel, re-starting Win7 VM, and then reinstalling the identical 10.3.5 version installer I had used originally. This suggests there really isn't any appropriate new version of VMWare Tools to upgrade to, or maybe something is wrong in my setup. except that it is grayed out!!! So it cannot be selected. There is a "Manage" item with a right-arrow on that dropdown menu, and clicking on that right-arrow presents a flyout sub-menu that shows "update VMWare tools" at the top. Instead the flyout text says "VMWare Tools can be updated".Īlso, the only "menu" I can imagine you're referring to is in the upper-left corner, i.e. ![]() Hovering the mouse over it does not produce a flyout with the "VMWare Tools service is running" text you mention. Here is the VMWare Tools icon in the system tray. When updated just re-boot the VM.I still have no idea what you're looking at, or asking me to do. Yes you do get little ! mark at bottom right with message VMware tools service is running - just click it and the vmtools will update - you probably won't see it for a while - so do something else.
