Hi everyone
I have installed MacOs high sierra on vmware workstation 15 and I have a problem installing vmware tools so I can share my windows folders.
The problem is that it when I click on install “install VMware Tools” it doesn’t do anything and I have done all the necessary steps

I’ll share the result of more than try with MAC Os X and vmware tools. if you removed your vmware tools after the install it won’t work again correctly it’ll be corrupted actually “the display + full screen and shared folders” to be specific
2- if you clicked on view–> fit guest now from Vmware software the screen display won’t work like it was and the “fit guest option will disappear. I don’t have any fix for these issues

In reply to Nic. I had the same issues, and what helped me, was to turn off the setting called "Automatically adjust user interface size in the virtual machine" under VM Options->Hardware->Display. Reboot VM.

Should I use Vmware workstation less than 14 for the vmware tools to work properly?

For those whose screen resolution automatically returns to HDPI.
You need to configure the VM, select a monitor and check the box opposite Specify Monitor Settings

I do not know if at some point I worked the configuration that indicated each comment or if it was enough with the post since I could not have the full resolution, however, after trying everything I decided to check the vmware options, surprise … is what I changed “view / autosize / autofit guest” with “autofit window”, nothing of restarts, maybe it will help someone.
