Pop this in the VMX config file if you want to get WinOLS to run inside VMware virtual machines
isolation.tools.getVersion.disable = "TRUE"
Let me know if it doesn't work as there's a few other options we can try also.
your the man! thank you very much. it works perfectly. but got another problem now. cant enter 'unity mode' in vmware anymore. it says i should reinstall vmware tools. but when doing that it comes with an error about vmware tools can only be installed inside the guest system which i am also doing.
do you know any solution for this?
cheers
