Hello
Sorry for my English, but I am from Lithuania. Hope you understand my writing
I've recently installed VMware player on the server to run specific applications, that cannot be working on the Windows Server 2008 64-bit software. The problem is, that sometimes VMware Player just stops working, cannot do anything, needs to power off and on again, to start working. And when it happens in the logs shows this message:
Dec 29 13:39:14.949: vmx| GuestRpcSendTimedOut: message to toolbox timed out.
Dec 29 13:39:29.949: vmx| GuestRpcSendTimedOut: message to toolbox timed out.
Dec 29 13:39:29.949: vmx| GuestRpc: app toolbox's second ping timeout; assuming app is down
Dec 29 13:42:29.955: vmx| GuestRpcSendTimedOut: message to toolbox timed out.
Dec 29 13:42:29.955: vmx| Vix: [6704 guestCommands.c:2392]: Error VIX_E_TOOLS_NOT_RUNNING in VMAutomationTranslateGuestRpcError(): VMware Tools are not running in the guest
I've tried updating Vmware Player itself and toolbox itself, and it ran ok for one day.. Next day, the same problem.
Google search gave no results looking on the last message. Maybe someone has a answer to the problem.
