Just pick a generic Linux kernel. The OS's in the list are there so VMware can tweak some settings for the respective distributions' tweaks. Don't bother trying to install VM tools from the menus; it won't work. Just use the open-vm-tools extension, it's faster and easier. If you're not using X there is an open-vm-tools-esxi extension that's lighter. Use IDE for the disk type, TC doesn't recognize VMware's SAS and SATA hardware.

Hello. thank you very much.
my main aim is installing it in vmware ESXi 6 update1.
so in OS selection page there were these options:
other 3.x Linux
other 2.6.x Linux
other Linux
i selected "other Linux"
i installed TCL 2.7 on this VM. i checked its hard disk is SCSI (LSI Logic parallel).
so my main aim is to install kind of "VMware tools" in this VM but as you said i have to install something else called "open-vm-tools extension"
may you please introduce me a step by step guide on how to install or use hat in that VM?

i'm not familiar with any Linux OS, i am a MCSE , but i need to work with TCL in my project so i have to install that in my VM. so i need a very straightforward guide to follow

thank you very much for your support

The easiest way is to use the Windows vSphere client so the screen will work. Upload the TC 7.2 iso to the EXSi datastore, create a new VM, select paravirtual scsi for the adapter type and create a hard drive, and pick the iso for the CD image. Use Other 3.x Linux as the OS type. It should be a standard install from there.

thanks i will test this when i get to my lab. so will this procedure install "open VM tools" automatically ?
for example when i click inside my TCL and then i move the mouse to outside, it will automatically released ?
