it seems that
sudo yum remove vmware-tools*
and then
sudo ./vmware-install.pl -d
works

Hi!
Just tried your recommendation to issue your 'sudo yum remove vmware-tools' however this didn't work for me. I get a "No match for argument vmware-tools' and I'm still not able to use the ./vmware-install.pl command. I really hope you're able to help me out here as my THhrift related error makes my Impala services not to start:( I've been given the recommendation to update VMWare (Tools?) for my Cloudera image in order to solve this so I'm stuck at the moment:(
Many thanks!

Soo sorry - I made a typo and after identifying this I was able to remove the "old" tools setup and install a new.
Many thanks and apologize for my mistake 🙂

Thanks that works. But I have another issue. After installing vmware tools, it says to restart system. I do that and vmware tools never installs. I open command line and type: /usr/bin/vmware-toolbox, and get error saying the file doesn't exist. I look in bin folder and sure enough it isn't there. I don't understand why it isn't installing?
