VMware Tools installation cannot be started manually while Easy Install is in progress.

You must install an operating system manually if you did not specify the easy install feature or were unable to use it when you completed the New Virtual Machine wizard.所以说启用Easy Install模式只能在完成创建虚拟机向导之前,系统根据你指定光盘或镜像及输入的必要信息生成并加载autoinst.flp软盘镜像以便进行简易安装。如果你选择I will install the operating system later,那么向导将不会收集Easy Install模式安装所需要的信息。在完成向导后,你放入光盘或镜像,VMware不会侦测系统及版本,也不会要求输入Easy Install所需要的信息,所以接下来只能手工进行安装

 Easy install feature also installs VMware Tools in the guest operating system. After installation is finished, VMware Tools isautomatically installed.意思是 Easy Install 安装过程包括安装VMware Tools,但通常Vmware没有自动安装VMware Tools,并且手动进行安装VMware Tools时出错,提示:VMware Tools installation cannot be started manually while Easy Install is in progress。意思Easy Install模式安装正在进行中,不可以手动安装VMware Tools。这可能是由于镜像以及版本的原因,Easy Install没有成功安装VMware Tools,并且Easy Install还未完成

所以手动安装VMware Tools,必须结束Easy Install模式。Easy Install由autoinst.flp控制,因此只要不加载autoinst.flp镜像,系统就可以结束Easy Install模式。这就是网上常用的VMware Tools安装失败的解决方案,即更改Floppy设置成Use physical drive:Auto detect.别忘了重启一下
