My end goal was that I didn’t have to worry about doing anything the latest VMware Tools for my OS X VM would just be installed into the VM as part of the build process.Īfter doing some research and testing, I have a solution that looks like it does just that. I wanted something that was completely automated without needing to also install a system management client. However, getting the latest VMware Tools installer into my VM building workflow has usually involved at least one manual step or having a system management tool handle the installation for me. As part of working with OS X VMs in VMware Fusion and ESXi, I’ve regularly installed the VMware Tools and have even found ways to incorporate their installation into my build process.
