Vmware Patch Tool Full Download Is
Not very helpful.Attached is a screen shot of what happens when you click on the live menu-item "Upgrade VMware Tools" in the version 4 UI, and keep in mind this is what VMware's own KB article confirms:Just be silent unless you really have a solution. Instead we're getting KB articles that say you have to download the Full installer and "users" such as yourself that both deny the problem's existence and then ask for some proof. That's what power-users would ilke to hear - hey, we just came out with this software, it has some bugs but we'll fix it. It makes me quite skeptical that you reply is even serious, given that there are many reports of this same problem with all of the possible details, and there is also a KB article on the subject acknowledging the behavior.If the tools are supposed to be downloaded on-demand then that feature is busted. There are alternatives.First, let me tell you here that there are many many power-users reading this who are not going to post but they don't like to read obvious baloney like "there is no problem here" and the assertion that the full download is for power users.
I see other forum posts from users claiming that on-demand download isn't working for them, and I also see posts from users of the "light" bundle claiming that on-demand download is working (for one, see stefanpmac's post a few minutes ago). It appeared from your post that you misunderstood the purpose of the "light" installer, and I openly acknowledged that we had to work to address your concerns, whether it was a failure of the on-demand download feature to function as expected or a failure of the feature to meet your needs. I will, perhaps naively, continue in my attempt, while admitting that I cannot immediately give you the solution you seek.I do not claim that "there is no problem here". My reply was an honest response and a good-faith attempt to engage you in a discussion to address your concerns.
We honestly do not expect that many users will need the full download - the download-on-demand feature is expected to function correctly. This will work around failures caused by any odd network configurations which VMware Workstation might not be able to handle as comprehensively as your browser (strange network proxies, for example), as well as working around host-side software which might interfere with the ability of the VMware Workstation UI to contact our servers (anti-malware or firewall software, for example). Rather than attempt to diagnose every possible end-user's network connection or download problem (which would be a technical support nightmare), a "sure-fire" solution is to ask the user to download the "full" package.
Maybe the problem is only with 4.0.0 or only with 4.0.1. Will tell you which you are running. Apple menu > About VMware Fusion. But only if you are willing to engage in level-headed dialog and troubleshooting.Are you willing to engage in genuine discussion on the topic?If so, could you kindly check which version of Fusion you are using? We released Fusion 4.0.0 (465617) and then very soon afterwards we released 4.0.1 (474597). It is also possible that it is a problem at your end of the line, in which case we can help try to resolve it.
First, I'll start us off with identifying the problems that I perceiveP1. A good starting point might be to establish what we think are the facts. Do you represent VMware?If so, then let's just get down to business and work through the issues. Among the various things one can read from your tone is that you appear to work for VMware.
I think that because when the feature is this susceptible to breakage (being dependent on the network, and in other versions the tools were installed on host), any QA department would have been on this and when QA reports something and it doesn't get fixed but a KB article comes to dismiss it instead, on the day of release, on the front page of support insider (but otherwise) difficult to find - then I think P2 is real here.I don't want to believe that but that's what I derive from the lack of outright acknowledgement or fixes. Or fiddle with the package.That status indicates that problem P2 is the real general problem, manifesting itself in many bugs. Instead, the only practical answer is to go get the big installer.
Vmware Patch Tool Mac OS Within
Rather than debate a conspiracy theory, all I can do is try to address the factual issues. I work on the virtual EFI firmware, responsible for booting Mac OS within a VM (among other things), and I take a general interest in trying to make sure Fusion and Workstation work well for everyone.I can assure you, in the most strong of terms, that we do not aim to have all of our users download the full version. If they don't, I won't lose sleep over it, just $50.The "vm" badge just below my avatar placeholder indicates that I am a VMware employee, and you can click on my name to find out more about me and my posting history here. If they do the right thing, that would be great.
