Silent Install Builder is free and easy-to-use software that allows you to install a set of software on several computers by creating a single installer containing multiple software setup packages. # Retrieve the VMware Tools package name from the directory I think a great feature enhancement to the VMware Tools installer is the ability to accept a silent configuration file, so that this use case can be better supported and more resilient in case additional options are added. You can change these based on your requirements but the current script only enables "VMware automatic kernel modules". vmblock enables dragging or copying files.The last four lines in the answer file (no, no, yes, no) maps to the following VMware Tools capabilities: In this particular case, I have left the system defaults in terms of the paths and documentation of where VMware Tools will be installed and focus on enabling additional capabilities such as VMware automatic kernel modules. Below is an updated script of performing a silent installation of VMware Tools, but instead of using the defaults I have created an "answer" file which contains the input that you would manually enter and redirecting that into the installer. Luckily, there is and this is actually a trick that I have used for many installers which require some user interaction. Now, just imagine you need to roll out a custom installation of VMware Tools and having to perform the installation manually, there must be a way right? Unfortunately, as mentioned earlier these are the only two supported installation mechanisms. However, if you wish to change any of the default settings such as the location of the installation or enabling additional VMware Tools capabilities, it is definitely not ideal. The solution above is great if you are okay with the defaults. Here is a complete working snippet that I shared awhile back which will completely automate the installation of VMware Tools using the "default" method and is the quickest way to install VMware Tools for Linux guestOSes: To use this option, you would specify the following: The second option sounds like what we want but the problem is that the defaults have already been pre-selected by VMware and they can not be changed as far as I know. The VMware Tools installer supports two modes of installation: The second approach is what we will be focusing on and specifically with an emphasis on Automation ? Once the VMware Tools installer is extracted, you will find a Perl script that does the actual magic called Currently, there are two options of installing VMware Tools for Linux guests, the first is by using VMware Tools Operating Specific Packages (OSPs) which can be found here or you can be manually install VMware Tools if an OSP does not exist or if you prefer to install interactively. There was a recent question that was posted internally looking for a way to automate the silent installation of VMware Tools for Linux guest operating systems which also required enabling additional VMware Tools features like VMware's Automatic Kernel Modules.
