Uninstalling VMware Tools issue - Missing VMware Tools64.msi

$

Hello all,

 

I did a search and there were some cases similar to my case here, but none of them have the solutions so I am posting this to see if anyone could help me.

 

For unstalling VMWare Tools, I was getting an error with missing VMware Tools64.msi and it gave me the path.

Person who installed this doesn't have the CD anymore so I've searched just about everywhere to see if I can download this msi, but can't find it.

So far, I have tried following methods to uninstall:

  1) Normal installation with newer version, which would normally uninstall current installed VMware Tools first, but that didn't work.
  2) Setup64 /c, didn't work.
  3) Relocating installer folder to different locations, didn't work.
  4) Uninstall previous version from Programs and Features, didn't work.
  5) Powershell script from Scott, rebooted and tried again and rebooted again.  Didn't work.
      $regpath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
      $regkey = $regpath | Get-ChildItem | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object { 'VMware Tools' -contains $_.DisplayName }
      msiexec.exe /x $regkey.PSChildName /passive /norestart
  6) Uninstall using product number, didn't work.
      msiexec /x {product number} /qn
All of those still fail with same error...missing VMware Tols64.msi.

I've also looked at https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2010137 and http://vmwarediary.com/Tips/2017/8/5799801/Vmware-Tools64-msi-missing-during-uninstallation-and-Setup-exe-c-switch-does-not-work

But I just can't seemed to find any solutions there.

 

If anyone have any solutions to this, or knows whereabout downloading this msi file, please let me know.

I am trying to uninstall 10.1.0 version and install 11.0.5 version.

 

Thanks in advance.
