Hi!
I have a similar problem. When trying to install the vmware tools, the downloading starts and I always have "Update server timeout" error. When I try to manually download the TAR file the download reaches about 85% and stops. I have tried to download the file with Chrome, IE and Opera and the result is the same.
Host OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (with SP1)
Guest OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x32 (with SP1)
Trying to download: tools-windows-9.2.2.exe.tar (also tried with tools-windows-9.2.0.exe.tar - again the download stopped, but on a different percent)
Thanks in advance!
