INSTALLING/UPGRADING

  To install/upgrade VMware Tools for Solaris,
  run the program "vmware-install.pl" from a command prompt, either in text
  mode or from a terminal inside an X session. You must have super user
  privileges (i.e. be logged as root) to run it.

     ./vmware-install.pl

  If you are installing VMware Tools for the first time,
  you can hit the <enter> key each time you are prompted to select the
  factory default answer. By default,
  the installation program installs:
       the drivers             in /kernel/drv
       the executables         in /usr/bin,
       the server executables  in /usr/sbin,
       the library files       in /usr/lib/vmware-tools,
   and the documentation files in /usr/share/doc/vmware-tools.

  If you have previously installed VMware Tools,
  you can hit the <enter> key each time you are prompted to keep your previous
  answer, or you can decide to submit a new answer.

  Once the installation/upgrade is complete, you can safely remove the
  vmware-tools-distrib directory from your system.

CONFIGURING

  In order to run correctly, VMware Tools must first be configured.

  To configure VMware Tools, run the program "vmware-config-tools.pl" (this is
  automatically done for you at the end of the installation/upgrade
  process if you answer "yes" to the last question). You must have super user
  privileges (i.e. be logged as root) to run it.

     vmware-config-tools.pl

  This will teach VMware Tools how to run on your current system.
______________________________________________________________________________

UNINSTALLING

  To remove an existing installation, run the program
  "vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".
  You must have super user privileges (i.e. be logged as root) to run it.

     vmware-uninstall-tools.pl

  The uninstall process will delete all installed files, and will backup the
  files that have been modified since they have been installed.
