So, I made a windows 7 virtual machine and VMware tools will not install. It just fails to install loads of stuff. I use custom and unselect the stuff that fails to install. It just rolls back. I'm using VMware workstation pro btw. Windows update just fails to check for updates.

Download and install "Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3033929)"

You should now be able to boot into VMware Windows 7
