vmware workstation tools mountain lion mac OS x

Question

I installed Mountain Lion and then I tried to run and then got this error:

The virtual machine cannot enter Unity mode because:
- The guest operating system does not have VMware Tools installed.
- The guest operating system's resolution cannot be changed.

Then I try to update tools:

Could not find component on update server.
Contact VMware Support or your system administrator.

Answer 1

The links supplied in Boris M answer points to software that is outdated and opens ad-ware sites in browser after install.

Here are the official darwin.iso (9MB) and darwin.iso.sig files from VMware Fusion 6.0.4 for Mac. Put it into vmware/isoimages/ folder next to other ISO files.

Unfortunately, VM > Install VMware Tools menu entry still won't work, so attach the ISO manually and install the package.
