Jota.Ce Posted October 17, 2025 Share Posted October 17, 2025 @Alv37 Thanks for that, but... do you know why it's only 277MB in size and previous version was 405MB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Matt Posted October 17, 2025 Author Administrator Share Posted October 17, 2025 @Jota.Ce I believe it's due to a complete rewrite of the code with the updated version number. Shadowx, Jota.Ce and zinoswink 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvidal Posted October 18, 2025 Share Posted October 18, 2025 maybe they removed some of the vmware tools isos from the installer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alv37 Posted October 18, 2025 Share Posted October 18, 2025 I extracted the installers for both versions (17.6.4 and 25H2, Windows version) and the first difference I noticed was that the ToolsIsos.cab file is larger in 17.6.4 than in 25H2. (Difference of about 60 MB) When you extract the latter, you understand why, in version 17.6.4, it contains two files: windows.iso and windows_x86.iso, whereas the file in version 25H2 only contains windows.iso. I haven't looked at all the other files, but I imagine there are other differences of this type in the other files that cause the installers to be different sizes.

dabourzannan Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 (edited) @Alv37 Thank you for your download post Trying to update version 25H2 Build 24995812, isn't working it through back "certificate error". Searching for that error, it is caused by changing update servers by Broadcom, but not updated in the installer. The suggested solution is to download the latest installer. Any idea to resolve this will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Edited December 11, 2025 by dabourzannan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alv37 Posted December 11, 2025 Share Posted December 11, 2025 Did you launch the update directly from VMWare Workstation or from the installation file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
