I ran into the same problem and finally i found a solution:
Remove all vmware packages that are installed via yum until
yum list installed | grep vmware
shows nothing:yum list installed | grep vmware
yum remove vmware-tools-guestlib.x86_64
yum remove vmware-...
yum remove kmod-vmware-...
...Remove files and folders found by "locate vmware". For me it was:
rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware-tools
rm -rf /etc/vmware-tools
rm /etc/init/vmware-tools.conf
rm /etc/ld.so.conf.d/vmware-tools-libraries.conf
rm /etc/modprobe.d/vmware-tools.conf
rm /etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/modules/vmware.pp
rm /etc/dracut.conf.d/vmware-tools.conf
rm -f /usr/bin/vmware-*
rm -f /usr/sbin/vmware-*
rm -rf /usr/share/doc/vmware-*Install
vmware-tools-foundation
as first package:yum install vmware-tools-foundation
And at last:
yum install vmware-tools-esx-nox
add a comment |
- First uninstall all
vmware-tools-*
packages (probably an optional, YMMV) - then
rm /etc/vmware-tools/locations
(which is what the PREIN script looks for) - after that you can install
vmware-tools-foundation

I ran into the same problem and finally i found a solution:
Remove all vmware packages that are installed via yum until
yum list installed | grep vmware
shows nothing:yum list installed | grep vmware
yum remove vmware-tools-guestlib.x86_64
yum remove vmware-...
yum remove kmod-vmware-...
...Remove files and folders found by "locate vmware". For me it was:
rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware-tools
rm -rf /etc/vmware-tools
rm /etc/init/vmware-tools.conf
rm /etc/ld.so.conf.d/vmware-tools-libraries.conf
rm /etc/modprobe.d/vmware-tools.conf
rm /etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/modules/vmware.pp
rm /etc/dracut.conf.d/vmware-tools.conf
rm -f /usr/bin/vmware-*
rm -f /usr/sbin/vmware-*
rm -rf /usr/share/doc/vmware-*Install
vmware-tools-foundation
as first package:yum install vmware-tools-foundation
And at last:
yum install vmware-tools-esx-nox

- First uninstall all
vmware-tools-*
packages (probably an optional, YMMV) - then
rm /etc/vmware-tools/locations
(which is what the PREIN script looks for) - after that you can install
vmware-tools-foundation
(and the rest of the kit)
