Latest VMware tools (10.1.2) default flag aborts installation #125

Closed sl4m closed 4 years ago

sl4m commented 6 years ago

It looks like when using the --default flag it aborts the installation in the latest VMware tools (10.1.2). I had to manually run vmware-install.pl to install it and not use compile.sh.

vagrant@vm:/tmp/vmware-tools-patches/vmware-tools-patches/vmware-tools-distrib$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl
open-vm-tools packages are available from the OS vendor and VMware recommends
using open-vm-tools packages. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2073803 for more
information.
Do you still want to proceed with this installation? [no] yes

I experienced the same kind of problem: the --clobber-kernel-modules option does not seem to exist in vmware-install.pl script version VMWare Tools 10.2.5 build-8068393 for Linux installer

Running ./vmware-install.pl --default --force-install manually instead of ./compile.sh fixed my issue.

Cheers.

@rasa you can close this, I fixed it a few versions ago. There is now a seperate script for the older versions
