we must change the script of wmware software package vmware-tools-distrib/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl
the file is an iso file under the software WM install path,I use iso tools(ex. deamon tools),thus we could use it in virtual
cdrom.
I use the EDITPLUS edit the file.The line is conference.

When you change the file,surpose you browse the text before and after,
You can use 3 methods to complete this task:
1 through network : You can use SMB link your OS and your virtual OS.
2 use vm-cdrom: copy the cdrom to the virtual disk,then change it with VI or Emacs
3 use the ISO tools to make the virtual iso file in your WINDOWS OS,then use VM-CDROM,install it.

install is easy,but when you see "compile a vmhgfs module" such words ,you must choose NO,otherwise you can choose yes.
then you will see X window.
