Introduction
VMware Tools is a collection of services and components that implement multiple functions across VMware products, enabling users to better manage and seamlessly interact with guest operating systems.
VMware Tools Lifecycle Management provides a simplified and scalable way to install and upgrade VMware Tools. It contains several functional and driver-related enhancements and supports new guest operating systems.
Open VM Tools (open-vm-tools) is an open source implementation (sysin) of VMware Tools for Linux guest operating systems. See GitHub for the latest copy of the Open VM Tools source code .
For vSphere deployments, VMware provides Operating System Specific Packages (OSPs) as the packaging and distribution mechanism for VMware Tools. See VMware Operating System Specific Packages for details .

System Requirements
VMware Tools 12 upports the following guest operating systems:
- windows.iso supports Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and later.
- The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package is a prerequisite for installing VMware Tools for Windows 12.0.0 and ships with the VMware Tools 12.0.0 download package. While preparing a Windows guest for installation, VMware Tools runs the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package installer which checks for the presence of a more recent version on the guest. If the guest has a more recent version already present, the package does not install.
For a 32-bit Windows guest, the prerequisite version is Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86) version 14.29.30133.0.
For a 64-bit Windows guest, the prerequisite versions are Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86) version 14.29.30133.0 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) version 14.29.30133.0. - Installing or upgrading to VMware Tools 12.0.0 is not supported for Windows versions that do not meet the prerequisite. Customers should continue to use VMware Tools 10.2.x or older until they can patch or update their Windows OS to meet the prerequisites for VMware Tools 12.0.0. Refer to Microsoft’s update KB2977003 for latest supported Visual C++ downloads.
