The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package is a prerequisite for installing VMware Tools for Windows 12.2.0 and ships with the VMware Tools 12.2.0 download package. While preparing a Windows guest for installation, VMware Tools runs the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package installer which checks for the presence of a more recent version on the guest. If the guest has a more recent version already present, the package does not install.

Product Support Notice

End of Feature Support Notice

AppDefense support is removed from VMware Tools 12.0.0 version onwards.
VMware Tools ships PVSCSI floppy images and PVSCSI drivers in Tools ISO for OS installation on a PVSCSI disk controller. The PVSCSI floppy images for supporting OS versions Vista, Server 2008, and Windows 7 are removed from VMware Tools 12.1.0 and later releases.
"VMXNET 2 (Enhanced)" Network Adapter is not supported. For users who have configured a virtual machine with the "VMXNET 2 (Enhanced)" adapter running Windows Server 2008 R2 version of windows, switching to the VMXNET3 Network adapter is recommended.
The Tar Tools (linux.iso) and OSPs shipped with VMware Tools 10.3.x release will continue to be supported. However, releases after VMware Tools 10.3.5 only include critical and security fixes.

Error while exporting custom ESXi image as an ISO file
When customer imports offline bundle from VMware Tools 12.1.x or older versions,
- After applying the VMware Tools patch to ESXi versions prior to 8.0a EP, the following error occurs while exporting custom ESXi image as an ISO file: Expected value ... for attribute 'swplatforms', but found value '[
- Same error occurs while applying the VMware Tools patch offline bundle on ESXi 8.0a EP host. This issue is fixed in this release.

Known Issues
VMware Tools Issues
Installation of Windows Vista, Server 2008, or Windows 7 fails in a virtual machine.
Installing a Windows OS Vista, Server 2008, or Windows 7 in a virtual machine with a boot disk on a PVSCSI controller, fails to install the required PVSCSI driver.
Download the VMware Tools package version 11.1.5 from https://customerconnect.vmware.com/, extract the contents, and use the VMware Tools windows.iso or the floppies for Windows OS Vista or Server 2008.
Note:
Users managing ESXi hosts or having a requirement to perform multiple installations of the same Windows OS version on a PVSCSI controller, can see the steps outlined in KB 84200.
ICMP related IDFW rules not working.
After upgrade to VMware Tools 12.0.0 version, NSX-IDFW customers can find that ICMP related IDFW rules are not working as expected.
This problem occurs because from VMware Tools 12.x.x version release onwards, ICMP filtering is disabled by default due to ICMP packet loss issue. Refer to KB 88273 for enabling registry settings to enable ICMP filtering.
VMware Tools upgrade failed with error code 1072 (The specified service has been marked for deletion.)
When upgrading VMware Tools to a new version, if the previous version's VMware Tools service is not deleted completely, this incomplete service removal causes installing the new VMware Tools version service to fail and leads to a fatal error for the upgrade.
When detecting an incomplete service removal to prevent VMware Tools upgrade from failing catastrophically every time, the new service creation will pause and retry to see if the condition clears. The VMware Tools installer will pause for up to 2 1/2 minutes. After this, a fatal error will occur. If the condition clears, the upgrade creates the new service and continues.
For more information, see KB 84269.
Retry installing VMware Tools.
After upgrading to a new version VMware Tools with an installer parameter to remove the NetworkIntrospection feature, the old version of the vnetflt or vnetWFP driver service continues to run.
After the upgrade, the NetworkIntrospection feature is not present in the system's VMware Tools MSI database, but the feature's vnetflt or vnetWFP driver service still exists.
Refer to KB 78016.
Note: This issue applies to VMware Tools upgrades from versions older than 11.1.0 only.
VMware Tools upgrade fails on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 without SHA-2 code signing support.
Microsoft has changed Windows driver signing to use the SHA-2 algorithm exclusively starting December 3, 2019. Legacy Windows systems without SHA-2 code signing support fail driver signature verification.
Installing or upgrading versions earlier than VMware Tools 10.3.0 to VMware Tools 11.1.x might take longer and Windows OS might need a restart.
Installation process might appear to be in progress and displays a message similar to the following: "Preparing 'VMware Tools' for installation..."
During this process, the user might be prompted to restart the operating system.
For more information, see KB 55798.
High CPU usage by VGAuthService.exe process after upgrading to VMware Tools version 12.1.0
The VMs with`guest_rpc.rpci.usevsocket = "FALSE" setting in VM configuration are affected.
To fix this issue, shut down the VM and remove `guest_rpc.rpci.usevsocket = "FALSE" setting from the VM's configuration.
This setting in the VM configuration was a workaround for the issue in KB 2149941 which has been resolved since ESXi 6.0 Patch Release ESXi600-201706001 and ESXi 6.5 Update 1. Newer ESXi versions do not need this setting in the VM configuration.
VMware Tools Issues in VMware Workstation or Fusion
Shared Folders mount is unavailable on Linux VM. If the Shared Folders feature is enabled on a Linux VM while it is powered off, the shared folders mount is not available on restart.
Note: This issue is applicable to VMware Tools running on Workstation and Fusion.
If the VM is powered on, disable and enable the Shared Folders feature from the interface. For resolving the issue permanently, edit /etc/fstab and add an entry to mount the Shared Folders automatically on boot.
For example, add the line: 
vmhgfs-fuse /mnt/hgfs fuse defaults,allow_other 0 0
Drag functionality fails to work in Ubuntu.
Drag functionality fails to work in Ubuntu 16.04.4 32-bit virtual machines installed using Easy Install. Also, failure of the copy and paste functionality is observed in the same systems.
Note: This issue is applicable to VMware Tools running on Workstation and Fusion.
Add the modprobe.blacklist=vmwgfx Linux kernel boot option.To gain access to larger resolutions, remove svga.guestBackedPrimaryAware = "TRUE" setting from the VM configuration.
