Hi,
I just installed VMware Player 6 on Windows 7. During installation, I choose to install it in a specific location (C:\Work\Tools) different from the default one.
I created a Debian 7.1 VM (jessie flavor) and played a little bit with it. I tried to install VMware Tools through the menu item (Player => Manage => Install VMware tools...)
It asked me to download them. After that, it asked me if I wanted to mount CD to install them. I agreed and nothing happened. I tried to mount manually without success.
I tried to stop my VM, to reboot my host, no result. Every attempt resulted in "no action"
I did some "linux.iso" finding on my computer and found it in default installation location of VMware player : C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Player
I moved the file (and its .sig companion) to my install location and the "Install VMware tools action is now working well.
I think it's a bug.
Regards,
