Hello,
I installed Debian 8 into my Workstation 9 running under Windows 7-64 (I had to check Debian 6 since that was the highest number availabel); but, unfortunately, I couldn't get VMware Tools to work. There were all sorts of errors. I recall that on some previous occasion a similar thing happened, and I was able to get instructions for fixing the Tools' source in order to get it to work. Do similar instructions exist for Debian 8?
Regards,
