When you select the command to install or upgrade VMware Tools, the VMware product determines whether it has downloaded the most recent version of the ISO file for the specific operating system. The most recent versions of the ISO files are stored on a VMware Web site. You can use the Windows Easy Install or Linux Easy Install feature to install VMware Tools as soon as the operating system is finished installing. When you select the command to install or upgrade VMware Tools, the virtual machineвЂ™s first virtual CD-ROM disk drive temporarily connects to the VMware Tools ISO file for your guest operating system. Each type of guest operating system, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, has an ISO image file. The CD-ROM in your guest operating system detects the ISO image file. The installers for VMware Tools are ISO image files.
