While installing VMware Tools in a Windows virtual machine, you may experience these symptoms:

•The SVGA / video driver fails to install

•The mouse driver fails to install

•You see one of these error messages: ◦Setup failed to install the VMXNet driver automatically. This driver will have to be installed manually.

The actual fix is quite easy. To find out how to fix this issue, go here.
