When i am using VMware converter to host my image to ESXi , It asks for install VMWare tools.

Few times i unselected that option(without knowing the importance) and hosted. When i am trying to install it afterwards (through VSphere) it fails.

I am using Free ESXi and Our server is behing firewall network.

What could be the issue? How it installs without any issue when hosting but fails when it is installed separately?

If you have faced it before , please help me to solve this.

Non-Windows hosts do not always mount the "CD" image correctly, which OS is running as the guest? How do you know the install via VSphere is failing? Are you getting an error message? If so I suggest posting it. – Tim Jan 5 at 17:49
define "it fails." specific errors? entire instance crashes? server crashes? the world implodes? – TheCompWiz Jan 5 at 17:50
