After updating VMWare Fusion, VMware Tools does not install automatically, and when doing manually installs older version. These are the tested virtual machines:
1. Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. I must do it manually via "Virtual Machine - Install VMware Tools", and even then it installs older version of 9th September 2016 instead of latest VMware Tools 10.2.0 of november 2017.
2. Windows XP Pro SP3. Same as above. Console reports older version:

3. Windows 10 Creators Update V1703 (Build15063.0) 64-bit. It It installs automatically VMware Tools, yet Console command to check-verify installed version as described in

4. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus). Same as above. Console reports older version:
user@user-virtual-machine:~$ vmware-toolbox-cmd -v
10.0.7.52125 (build-3227872)
user@user-virtual-machine:~$
I am using VMWare Fusion 10.1.0 (7370838) on macOS 10.12.6 (16G1114) Sierra.
How to fix these issues?
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
