You know, it's pretty retarded at this point that VMWare does not have explicit instructions on how to fix this situation given the fact that DVDs are like ancient tech that no one uses any longer.
Easy Install installs VMWare Tools when using a W10 iso and VMWare Tools runs, but the menu "Reinstall VMWare Tools" is always greyed out.
Easy Install might or might not install VMWare tools when using any W7 iso (mostly not, and the error appears at the bottom of the VM saying to use the "Reintall VMWare Tools" but that menu option is greyed out).
Host, W10 1903 x64. SSD only. No DVD and I don't have one.
Workstation Pro 15
Workstation Pro 15 is set to detect and use the SSD (SATA) but every single time Workstation Pro throws the error that it cannot connect as no such device (CD\DVD) is installed on the host. Workstation Pro 15 prevents changing the CD\DVD settigs. They are all greyed out.
I am only interested in step-by-step, how-to instructions to solve this problem.
