On fedora 24(guest os),can't install vmware tools to share files
<p>while using the vmware tools distributed with the vmware player 12, it always came the error 'unable to start vmware-tools.service execution aborted', no matter what way I tried(even reinstalled the guest os). Finally I gave up and tried to use the open-vm-tools distributed with the fedora os. It is so simply working just by typing a command! Like this:</p>

<p>vmhgfs-fuse /mnt/hgfs</p>

<p>and then I found my shared folder name in hgfs!
Amazing!
If you're still puzzled by the official vmware-tools, and driven crazy by all kinds of weird issues it has caused, maybe you could try this way.
Just one step to share your files between host os and guest os.
PS:The way to set the shared folder is omitted.</p>
