manually install vmware tool in mac (vmware fusion)

Sometime when we try to istall the vmware tool from the menu, nothing will happen. So we need to do manual install.

From the Host (MAC), go to Application/vmware. Right click and select 'show package contents'. Navigate to Content/Library/isoimages. Grab the .iso (windows.iso or linux.iso depends on which guest OS we're trying to use) and make a copy to the for example : desktop.

From the guest OS, connect CD, and mount that ISO and windows will detect the CD and then find and run the installer from inside the CD.

Cheers.
