Did you try "tce-load -iw open-vm-tools" again?
--- Quote ---should i do any additional configuration steps in order to boot VM from TinyCoreLinuxPlus which i have installed on the hard disk of this virtual machine?
if yes please tell me the command

Did you check that /mnt/sda1/tce/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf was present and correct before rebooting the client?

Something is wrong with your VM. I've never had any problem like this. It should work like a real computer. Do you have snapshots on or off? Should be off. Is your hard drive persistent in VMware or not? Should be persistent.

i resolved the hard disk boot problem.
i deployed a brand new Virtual machine, i found that we must definitly set its hard disk as IDE (not SCSI) so that it be shown at mount tools.
i installed TC on local hard drive. then ejected the .iso file & now TC boots correctly from hard disk.
i again tried to install "open-vm-tools". every thing goes well but at the final step i get this error shown in attachment.
i am really frustrated with installing open-vm-tools
i don't know what is the cause of this problem
:'(
nmm4829:
seems when i try to install open-vm-tools directly from within mt TinyCore virtual machine using App browser, it fails for unknown reasons at final steps.
i was thinking about is it possible to download it separately from my windows PC (for example via internet download manager software & then create an .iso file from downloaded package & mount it into that TC virtual machine & then install it there in offline manner.
is above possible ?

The cause of the problem is probably that your Internet connection is not that great - you can download/load the mirrors extension and use the "apps" gui to check for the fastest mirror and try that.
If your internet connection is playing up, you can download open-vm-tools and its deps in smaller chunks to see if that helps, i.e.:
--- Code: ---$ tce-load -w gtk2mm
$ tce-load -w graphics-KERNEL
$ tce-load -w xf86-video-vmware
$ tce-load -w xf86-input-vmmouse
$ tce-load -w Xorg-7.7-3d
$ tce-load -w procps-ng
$ tce-load -w libdnet
$ tce-load -w libmspack
$ tce-load -w fuse
--- End code ---
..and if all that works without error, then:
--- Code: ---$ tce-load -wi open-vm-tools
--- End code ---
Downloading outside tinycore is not that great an idea as the deps are recursive - see here for a list:
