Without the tools installed on guest, it works well, but the guest resolution is too small.
Anyone experienced this problem and has a solution for it?

I’m facing an issue in installing VMware tools when I click install VMware tools this error message appears :

This operation cannot proceed because your Mac OS guest is using the CD/DVD.

Dismiss this message, eject the disc from inside the guest, and retry this operation.

Can you please help with this?

thanks
It worked perfectly fine, but there is a problem!
it will not recognize wifi, so there is no internet connection
however, I used the same method for El Capitan and it could pick up a wifi signal
any solution for the issue?

It didn’t work for me. Resolution is still 1024×768. But I used the zip/iso of “VMware Tools packages for OS X” at https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/downloads/details?downloadGroup=VMTOOLS1125&productId=1073&rPId=58582

Wondering why it is not for OS XI or Big Sur

happy new year

Hi Mukhtar,
Thank you for giving us these tutorials. With the newest Vbox 6.1.16 it does have the vboxdarwinadditions for mac guests. But there is an issue when it comes time to install them, I think only on Big Sur because of new root directory and kernel restrictions. Are you planning on looking at a work around so we can install the guest additions on a big sur guest?
Thanks again

You can also choose to use VMSVGA graphics under display in VirtualBox, which is compatible with the VMWare Tools graphics driver. Works a treat.

If the direct VMware tools that we linked doesn’t work properly, use the default one.

Do you use the default VMware tools?

I tried like 20 times and each time the os said the install was successful. The performance is way better with VM Tools uninstalled. Maybe VMware needs to update?
