Ubuntu intallation is stuck at vmware tools installation [closed]

Question

I installed unbuntu 12.04 LTS in VMware workstation 7.0 and the VMware used the "Easy Mode".
When I finish the intallation, the VMware automatically installed the VMware Tools, and it was stuck at this scene. The scene is like this:

****************************************************************** ****************************************************************** Vmware Easy Install  PLEASE WAIT! VMware Tools is currently being  installed on your system. Depending on the  version of Ubuntu you are installing, you may  log in below and use the system during  intallation. Otherwise, please wait for the  graphical environment to launch. Thank you.  ****************************************************************** ****************************************************************** ubuntu login:_ 

I can login and use the command "sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm start" to go to the graphical interfaces， but I have to do it every time I use this system.

And I have waited for a very long time and VMware still told me to wait.....

Any Solutions?

Answer 2

I just had the same issue with Worksattion 7 and Ubuntu 12.04.

I tried the suggested solutions, however they did not work.

What worked for me was Creating the VM first by choosing the option "I will install the OS later"

then mount the iso on the CDROM through the settings window and boot it up.

Worked 1st time.

also once its finished copying the files disconnect the cd rom at reboot
