Solution is :
1 – Run: apt-get install dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential psmisc
2 – Run: git clone https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches.git
3 – Run: cd vmware-tools-patches/patches
4 – Remove every folder except “vmhgfs”.
5 – Get the last version of VMwareTools clicking on VMWare Bar > VM > Install/Reinstall VMWare Tools. It will open a virtual CD containing the “tar” file.
6 – Copy VMwareTools-9.2.4-1398046.tar.gz to “vmware-tools-patches” folder.
7 – On “vmware-tools-patches” folder, run: ./untar-and-patch-and-compile.sh
NOTE : If ./untar-and-patch-and-compile.sh throws an error “Unable to delete open-vm-tools due to dependencies by open-vm-tools-desktop” execute the following command : apt-get remove open-vm-tools-desktop
8. Go to VM settings and enable and select the folder from base OS to be shared. You should find the shared folder in /mnt/hgfs/<Shared Folder Here>
