Resolved Issues

  • Installation of VMware Tools fails on Solaris 10.

    Installation of VMware Tools 10.3.2 or 10.3.5 fails on Solaris 10 with two error messages of the form “Unable to change the access rights of the file GLOB (<hex number>)”. Each of these error messages is followed by an 'Execution aborted' message.

    This problem affects installation on Solaris 10 only. VMware Tools installation works fine on Solaris 11.

    This issue is fixed in this release.

  • In certain cases, quiesced snapshots on Linux guests do not include backup manifests.

    On a Linux guest, if VMware Tools 10.3.5 gets an error when notifying the ESXi host of a quiesced snapshot's backup manifest file, VMware Tools logs an error and does not notify the ESXi host of the backup manifest file on subsequent quiesced snapshots. As a result, some quiesced snapshots do not include the backup manifest file, that would otherwise be available on the ESXi host. Such snapshots are not identified as quiesced by vSphere clients.

    This issue is fixed in this release.

  • Mouse cursor issues in Windows VMs with multiple monitor displays.

    In Windows VMs with multiple monitors, mouse cursor has the following issues:

    • Mouse cursor disappears, when:
      • The cursor is on the the left monitor(s). The cursor animation works only when the cursor is on the right most monitor.
      • The cursor is moved within some 3rd party applications.
      • There is transition from one cursor to another.
      • The software is busy.
    • Mouse cursor flickers or blinks.
    • Mouse cursor jumps towards the corner of monitor frequently.
    • Mouse cursor movements are sporadic and slow inside VMs.

    This issue is fixed in this release.

Pro Tools 10.3.10 Big Sur

Known Issues

Pro Tools 10.3.9 Crack

  • AppDefense driver glxgi logs an error in the event viewer.

    AppDefense driver glxgi logs an error in the event viewer similar to the following:

    'The glxgi service failed to start due to the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.'

    The events are observed when Guest Integrity is disabled.

    Workaround:

    These events do not impact the system and are safe to ignore.

  • Event Viewer driver warnings generated by VMware Tools boot start drivers glxgi, pvscsi, vsepflt, and vsock.

    When you have a secure boot VM with Microsoft Hyper-V and virtualization-based security enabled with Device Guard and Code Integrity policy set to enforced, then drivers, glxgi, pvscsi, vsepflt, and vsock might generate the event log warnings similar to the following.

    Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-CodeIntegrity/Operational
    Source: Microsoft-Windows-CodeIntegrity

    Operational Log:

    Warnings

    Event ID: 3083
    Level: Warning

    Description:
    Code Integrity determined kernel module system32DRIVERSvsock.sys that did not meet the WHQL requirements is loaded into the system.
    Check with the publisher to see if a WHQL compliant kernel module is available.

    Workaround:

    These warnings are safe to ignore. The drivers load and operate in the normal manner.

  • VMware Tools package fails to complete the installation.

    While installing VMware Tools by running the setup command, a dialog box appears which displays a progress bar. This dialog box displays the progress of the installation of the VC 2017 redistributable package which is used by VMware Tools. The VC 2017 redistributable package installation does not complete, preventing the launch of the general VMware Tools installation dialog box.

    The VMware Tools installation logs can be found in the temporary folder in the path similar to the following:

    %temp%vminst.log and %temp%vmmsi.log

    The issue is observed with Windows Vista Service Pack 2 operating system which has Microsoft Document Explorer 2008 package installed when VMware Tools installs the Microsoft VC 2017 redistributable package.

    Workaround:

    To install VMware Tools,

    1. Uninstall the Microsoft Document Explorer 2008 package from the Windows Vista Service Pack 2 operating system.
    2. Install or upgrade VMware Tools by running the setup again.
  • Installing or upgrading to VMware Tools 10.3.0 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.

    Workaround:

    For more information, see KB 55798.

  • Drag functionality fails to work in Ubuntu.

    Drag functionality fails to work in Ubuntu 16.04.4 32-bit virtual machine installed using easy install. Also, failure of copy and paste functionality is observed in the same system.

    Note: This issue is applicable for VMware Tools running on Workstation and Fusion.

    Workaround:

    • Add the modprobe.blacklist=vmwgfx linux kernel boot option.
    • To gain access to larger resolutions, remove svga.guestBackedPrimaryAware = 'TRUE' option from the VMX file.
  • Shared Folders mount is unavailable on Linux VM.

    If the Shared Folders feature is enabled on a Linux VM while it is powered off, shared folders mount is not available on restart.

    Note: This issue is applicable for VMware Tools running on Workstation and Fusion.

    Workaround:

    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

  • VMware Tools kernel module signature verification failure warning messages appear for Solaris 11.4.

    The Solaris Verified Boot default policy is set to 'warning' in the Solaris 11.4 release. When an unsigned module is loaded, a warning message appears as below:

    'solaris-11.4 krtld: Warning: Signature verification of module /kernel/drv/amd64/vmmemctl failed'

    VMware does not provide signed kernel modules for Solaris in VMware Tools releases. As each VMware Tools kernel module is loaded, a warning message appears on the console or in the system log (/var/log/messages).
    In 'warning' mode, the module is, however, loaded into the kernel.
