VMware released a new major version of VMware Tools last week, 2019-09-19, meaning the latest and greatest version for Windows and MacOS is no version 11.0.

Starting earlier this year VMware added the pvscsi & vmxnet3 drivers to the Microsoft Update Service and by VMware Tools version 11 the VMCI (VMware Virtual Machine Communication Interface) driver is added as well. It uses Visual Studio 2017 as the kernel space compiler, and you can:

  • Configure VMware Tools to prevent automatic upgrades — Not bad:)
  • Prevent vSphere admins from adding or removing VMware Tools components

AppInfo is a new component which collects information about running applications every 30 minutes by default but can be changed and the collection process can also be disabled which gives you the flexibility you need. Haven’t tried the installer yet so not sure if you can just skip the component if you preferrer.

There are now 11 hardware, 8 software and 1 security related drivers available for Windows Operating systems via VMware Tools version 11.0.

Balloon driver is now deprecated and for Catalina (MacOS 10.15) VMware Tools is notarized for MacOS 10.15 which is pretty good.

Tools

For Linux I guess you all know that version 10.3.5 was the latest release where new features were added. The new VMware Tools version for Linux, version 10.3.20, includes backported security fixes which can be used if the open-vm-tools is not available via your Linux distros software repository. Manual download available via GitHub if you’re in the software code compiling business.

Last thing: between 20-30% performance increase when moving larger files via Host-Guest Filesystem (HGFS)

About This File

This is the current version of VMware Tools for OS X / macOS from the VMware CDS repository for Fusion 11.5.0

VMware are no longer including the ISO images as separate 'packages' in the CDS respository as of Fusion 11.5.0, instead the ISO images are included as part of the 'core' download which is 522 MB.

It is not possible to download the com.vmware.fusion.zip.tar due to upload limits.

Download

However, I have extracted the darwin.iso and darwinPre15.iso from the 'core' and uploaded to this thread.

If you prefer to download the 'core' tar file and extract the ISO's they are located in the following directory in the tar file:

com.vmware.fusion.zip.tarcom.vmware.fusion.zippayloadVMware Fusion.appContentsLibraryisoimages

Please note: In the latest VMwareGfx.kext from Fusion 8.5.5 onwards VMware have discontinued the 2D-Acceleration code, and graphics performance is better now, thanks to Zenith432 for the update.
