Thanks for the great work!

 

I get this error when trying to install the plugin:

 

plugin: installing: http://unraid.zeron.ca/plugins/open-vm-tools/openVMTools.plg
plugin: downloading http://unraid.zeron.ca/plugins/open-vm-tools/openVMTools.plg
plugin: downloading: http://unraid.zeron.ca/plugins/open-vm-tools/openVMTools.plg ... done

Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/boot/config/plugins/openVMTools.plg" in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/scripts/plugin on line 214
plugin: xml parse error

 

What causes this?

Can you write anything to the flash drive?

Yes, everything else works but this.

Bad place to ask, but now that I have the tools installed, I had chosen FreeBSD 64-bit as the OS in ESXI, and now it is telling me to select the correct one, any suggestions as to what to select?  It had said Linux 4.9.10-unRAID Slackware 14.2.

 

After a restart, it doesn't seem to give me the same warning.  So maybe it's good now.

i think, your choice "FreeBSD 64-bit" is OK. if everything works then no probs.

unRAID is custom kernel build based on Slackware, so there will be no such option in ESXi to choose.

6.3.5 version is uploaded.

 

I can't get this to work, but I'm unsure if its me as a new user doing something wrong?

This is the log when I try to install using the URL in the first post:
