CentOS 7 issue finished successfully but vmwaretools not installed #75

Hi Craig,

I found some issue with the module, it happens only on CentOS 7.

I rerun the module manually step by step and found the issue:

[root@server ]# ./vmware-install.pl -d open-vm-tools are available from the OS vendor and VMware recommends using open-vm-tools. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2073803 for more information. Do you still want to proceed with this legacy installer? [no]

when you running with flag "-d" and the default is [no] instead of [yes] it doesn't continue the installation.

Any idea how can we workaround this issue in the module?

Update, I've changed the vmware-install.pl script to ignore the [no] and packed it back to "VMwareTools-9.4.12-2627939.tar.gz" Now it's working for me, if possible to change the Puppet module to somehow support\ignore the first worming it will be great.

Hi,

This issue already has a fix - to force installation, you can set the force_install parameter to true:

class { 'vmwaretools':
    force_install => true,
}

Thanks, Craig
