If you are currently using the VM Player latest version to setup a new virtual machine, then you will find that you will be unable to install the VMware tools to the new virtual machine.
Once you select the VMware tool menu option from the VM player, the application will connect to the VMware official website to download the tools, however it will return an error and stop you installing the tool. Besides, it will also inconvenient to use who doesn't have internet connection.
After I tried so many times/solutions and finally I gave up. I use my own solution to solve it by installing VMserver and then turn on the virtual machine to install the VMware tools.
I had also extracted the tools and shared it; if you are looking for the tools perhaps you can click on the link below to download the installer for your convenient. This will skip you from installing the VMserver to extract the tools.
Download link for Windows: Vmware Tools

Turn Off Annoying PC Beep Sound
Did you ever hear the sound “beep” in the office? This is because the computer running or executing the application with error.
This is more happened for those running in virtual machine, because in physical machine we have installed sound card and driver therefore the machine will not trigger the beep sound. However, in virtual machine in order to get high performance and normally will not include sound device and therefore beep sound will be triggered if error occur.
You can follow these steps to disable it in Vmware
- Right click [My Computer] and then select [Manage].
- Under [Computer Management] select [Device Manager] to highlight it.
- From the Menu bar select [View] then click [Show Hidden Devices]
- Expand the Menu for [Non-plug and play drivers]
- Double click on the [Beep] item and go to [Driver] tab and click [Stop].
