VMWare tools install
Attempting to install VMware Tools on Windows Server 2008 R2 produces the following error:

"Error 1935: An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.5.0727.762",processorArchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Supp..."

We've stepped through the resolution posted on the VMware KB (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1037872), but still continue to encounter the same error.

Running "regsvr32 mfc90.dll" produces another error:
"The module "mfc90.dll" failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. The specified module could not be found."

is this a brand new server, just installed from cdrom or iso?

did you run windows update before installing vmware tools?

I believe the mfc90.dll is part of the Visual C++ package.

You may want to download and install seperately. Not sure if it will work but here's a link to the redistributable version

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
