Whenever we don't care about servers updating, it can became a big problem. When you update your hosts, naturally you can see a new tip on your console like this: "vmware tools running out of date". If you update to VMware ESXi 6.7 and there is many virtual machines running on Windows Server 2012 R2 (he-he, yea exactly as i mentioned before without any regular update procedures or sadly WSUS server to do that on your environment) you will encounter with a great challenge. Because there is a series of prerequisites for installation of VMware Tools (VM version14) on this type of windows server:
VMware Tools ==> DotNet Framework 4.6 (or higher versions) ==> Update KB2919355
But the problem arises when you want to install this update manually (remember it's included some another update files and you need consider their order) it will warn "is not applicable with your system". So to fix that you need to install two hotfixes: KB2939087 and KB2975061 then try again for KB2919355. After successfully installation you can continue your setup procedure and at last install VMware Tools on your VMs.
