Hi theire,
so with v5 the Vmware Tools has been changed.
i just wouldn't much take care about what they changed, and why they changed. that's theire Process for each Major release. for each one a new Surprise, facing new Challanges .
Anyway VMware Tools is a Special Story anyway.
i personally just taking care that i update all vm's which are having Red Error Message. if it's "running (out-of-date)" i don't care about. unsupported i don't have currently.
Just take care that you make a "Maintenance" and updating all you're vmware tools. for an major Relase i would for sure upgrade the Vmware Tools, even if they would be supported. Major is new stuff mostly , who knows Problems behind if too much mixings with Old Configs . just close Single Point of Failures Proactivly .
then you're happy
Best regards
Max
