The installers for VMware Tools for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and NetWare guest operating systems are built into VMware Server as ISO image files. (An ISO image file looks like a CD-ROM to your guest operating system and even appears as a CD-ROM in Windows Explorer. You do not use an actual CD-ROM to install VMware Tools, and you do not need to download the CD-ROM image or burn a physical CD-ROM of this image file.)When you install VMware Tools, VMware Server temporarily connects the virtual machine’s first virtual CD-ROM drive to the ISO image file that contains the VMware Tools installer for your guest operating system, and begins the installation process. (To cancel the installer, choose VM > Cancel VMware Tools Install to return your virtual machine’s CD-ROM drive to its original configuration.)
