1、启动并进入Linux系统。
2、然后选择虚拟机菜单中的“虚拟机/安装VMware-Tools”,此时就会有把VMware-tools文件映像到CD－ROM中。
3、把“VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.i386.rpm，VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz”文件复制到自己的需要的位置中，然后选择一种安装方式。在此我选VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz。
4、解压
# tar -zxvf VmwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz
5、进入/home/tsm/Tools/vmware-tools-distrib目录中，
cd /home/tsm/Tools/vmware-tools-distrib
6、输入 ./vmware-install.pl进行安装，在安装过程中根据提示进行选择，在此我一路选择回车即可，周详安装过程如下：
在此时最好用root高级用户操作
su
[root@tsmpc vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl，

The configuration of VMware Tools 6.0.2 build-59824 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.
You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/home/tsm/software/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.
To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/network start
To make use of the virtual printer, you will need to restart the CUPS service

这是在网上的方法，当我自己装的过程的出现 the path “” is not valid 然后是否改变路径，按回车后一直循环，解决方法：
有两种方法可以供楼主选择：
1、在终端中执行su命令，然后按提示输入密码，获取root权限，然后分别执行下列命令：
（这里内核版本号可能有所不同，要在终端中执行uname -r查看当前内核版本）
cd /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic/include
cp -p generated/utsrelease.h linux/utsrelease.h
cp -p generated/autoconf.h linux/autoconf.h
再重新安装vmware tools2、进入终端，执行：
sudo -s
cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/linux
ln -s ../generated/utsrelease.h
ln -s ../generated/autoconf.h
再重新安装vmware tools即可。
出现本人用第一种方法安装出现
