I am using this version of player:

At the moment, this is where you find the VMWare Tools: https://packages.vmware.com/tools/frozen/darwin/

You download darwin.iso, attach it as CD in the settings of VMware Player, then start your machine, autorun will run, you jump through all hoops and dialogs, and there you go.

You can download the latest version here: https://packages.vmware.com/tools/releases/latest/windows/x64/

Notice this folder is for Windows x64, browse for your OS, if different.

Download to your VM and install... then close the VM to get everything in sync.
