Hi All,

VMware published a Security Advisory for the VMware Tools on Windows.

VMSA-2022-0007

VMware Tools 12.0.0 Download

On my ESXi the VM’s the VMware Tools are currently running Version 11.3.5

I’ve extracted the “windows.iso” and renamed it to “WMwareTools12_Windows.iso”

Then uploadet it to the Datastore

Attached it to the VM

And started the setup64.exe
