Click Finish to continue. The fusefs kernel module is required to mount shared folders from within a FreeBSD guest operating system. Any modern supported version of FreeBSD will have it included in the base system, but it may not be enabled by default.
Note: The module will already be enabled if the FreeBSD desktop script was used to setup a graphical environment. Use the kldstat command to check if the module is loaded.
To load the module, execute the kldload command followed by the module name as root. Mounting is usually restricted to the root user. It is possible to allow non-root users to mount items by setting the vfs. This part is optional and can be skipped if you want to restrict the ability to mount filesystems on your system.
Run the installer as Administrator. Typical is enough in most cases. You can select this type and continue installation. If you want to change the installation type, hit Back. If everything is correct, hit Install to start the installation process. Wait for a while until VMware Tools are installed.

In the popup notification window, click Continue Installation and enter your login and password to install software. After that, you can close the window. In the Install VMware Tools wizard, you can now see that the installation has been successful.
Hit the Restart button and restart the virtual machine running macOS. Once macOS has been rebooted, a new pop-up window is opened and a notification is displayed: System Extension Blocked.

While preparing the system for VMware Tools However, this approach poses a challenge due to limited space in ProductLocker. In order to address this space limitation, only windows. ISO images for few end of life guest operating systems are frozen. Note : If you're running low on space, you may want to reconfigure your hosts to use a shared location for VMware tools. Other than that, by simply replacing the old ISO images within the ProductLocker location by the new ones, and restarting a VMware vCenter agent service on a host would refresh the version info on a per-host basis.
You would do that if you have just a couple of ESXi hosts. If you're running a cluster of hundreds of ESXi then you would consider putting VMware tools in a shared location and updating the shared VMware tools location via host profiles.
ISOs containing installers : These are packaged with a particular product and are installed in a number of ways, depending upon the VMware product and the guest operating system installed in the virtual machine.
Usually, the guys who maintain Linux distros, they pack those tools within their distros, so the administrators can easily install and update VMware Tools side-by-side with other Linux packages.
You'll find it at the bottom of the page where are the different VMware tools packages….
