无法在 Debian 8 上安装或升级 VMware Tools。

尝试通过键入 ./vmware-install.pl 进行安装时，出现错误:

Answer 1

1. 卸载 prevoius 安装root@debian-vm:~$ vmware-uninstall-tools.pl

   1. 重新安装 Vmware Tools:

要(重新)安装 VMware Tools，您必须安装 VMware Tools CD 镜像，提取内容 (VMware Tools)，然后运行安装程序。

要挂载 CD 镜像并提取内容:

Power on the virtual machine.
Log into the virtual machine using an account with administrator or root privileges.
Go to Virtual Machine > Install VMware Tools (or VM > Install VMware Tools).

Note: If you are running the light version of Fusion, a version of Workstation without VMware Tools, or VMware Player, you are prompted to download VMware Tools before they can be installed. Click Download Now to begin the download.
Open the VMware Tools CD mounted on the desktop.
Right-click the file name that is similar to VMwareTools.x.x.x-xxxx.tar.gz, click Extract to, and select the Desktop to save the extracted contents.

The vmware-tools-distrib folder is extracted to the Desktop.

安装 VMware 工具:

Open a Terminal window. For more information, see Opening a command or shell prompt (1003892).
In the Terminal, run this command to navigate to the vmware-tools-distrib folder:

cd Desktop/vmware-tools-distrib
Run this command to install VMware Tools:

/vmware-install.pl -d

Note: The -d switch assumes that you want to accept the defaults. If you do not use -d, press Return to accept the defaults or supply your own answers.
Restart the virtual machine after the VMware Tools installation completes.
