installing Tiny Core Linux 7.2 on Vmware ESXi virtual machine

If you read the instructions in the comments of the app you will see that there are client programs that need to be started when you log in. One goes in your .profile the other in .xsession. After this you can change the resolution by resizing the window. Host folders will work too if you have them enabled.
Juanito:
You can create the file like this:
--- Code: ---$ echo "xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 800x600" > /home/tc/.X.d/xrandr
--- End code ---
As already said, you will not need the wbar commands if the above command executes when the gui starts.

Oh my God. eventually i achieved what i needed.
Juanito, you saved my life at last.
it is about 5 days i am struggling to achieve this step.
now my TCL VM is started in 800x600 and wbar is shown.
thanks you very very much for all Guys helped me here.
really without knowing Linux basics, one can't do simple tasks.
thanks again.
if someone here needed any help on microsoft services, feel free to ask me.

From the open-vm-tools app comments in open-vm-tools.tcz.info:
Comments: Download and install in console before reboot; do not install while in X.
Add to ~/.profile before startx to enable shared folders:
[ $(which vmware-checkvm) ] && [ vmware-checkvm ] && [ -d /mnt/hgfs ] && vmhgfs-fuse /mnt/hgfs
Add to ~/.xsession after mouse-config to enable copy/paste, mouse grab/ungrab, and desktop resizing:
[ $(which vmware-checkvm) ] && [ vmware-checkvm ] && vmware-user &
Move wbar to upper left vertical because wbar doesn't know when the desktop is resized.
Aterm text does not render correctly, use lxterminal instead.
Kernel modules removed, now all tools are userspace.
Verify permissions for /dev/fuse are 1666.
Loading the extension should create /mnt/hgfs. Verify that it happened and the permissions are 777.
Files in shared folders will not be visible to anyone other than the user that
mounts them, including root. This is why if the shared folders are mounted
in a directory that is in a tree in /opt/.filetool.lst, backups will fail.
Xorg and its dependencies are not needed for text only VM's.
Based on your posts, reading the instructions first might have saved a lot of pain. Also, I suspect that most of us are proficient at MS Windows too. I personally have been using MS OS's since 1986 (on a 4.77 MHz 8088 maxed out to 640 kB of RAM), so I'm familiar with their software. That's why we're using Linux ;D

Thanks that was helpful but i still tell that without knowing some basics about Linux, we can't do simple stuff in this OS (but in windows we can).
if because of some bugs which exists in all operating systems, we give up an operating system completely, i think we are making big mistake.
