VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide
The VMware Tools installation wizard starts.
5. Click Next to continue with the VMware Tools installation wizard. The Setup Type
dialog box appears.
6. Choose whether you want to perform a typical, complete or custom installation.
The installer uses this selection each time you upgrade VMware Tools.
Typical Installation
A typical installation installs only those components used by GSX Server. For
example, the driver to use shared folders (a feature in VMware Workstation) is not
installed in a typical installation in a virtual machine created with GSX Server.
A typical installation installs the utilities to enhance the performance of the
guest operating system, and a set of drivers specific to GSX Server virtual
machines — the VMware SVGA driver, the VMware Mouse driver, the VMware
SCSI driver and the VMware vmxnet networking driver (the vlance driver is
installed automatically when you created the virtual machine).
If you plan on not using this virtual machine with other VMware products, such
as VMware Workstation, you can use the typical installation. To choose the
typical installation, select Typical, click Next, then go to step 7.
