No VMware Tools Support? Reservations, Please.
I've come across some systems that for one reason or another can't run VMware Tools. This can be due to support reasons, an operating system that doesn't officially have VMware support from the version of the hypervisor or family of operating systems, an appliance that is designed to run on a physical system but doesn't offer virtualization support, or it simply won't install on that system without something else going awry.

How to Force Remove VMware Tools and Manual Clean Up
I created a Windows 7 virtual machine in VMware Player, ran it for a while on my Windows notebook, and then decided to move it to one of my Ubuntu machines and host it in VirtualBox. I had no problem copying the folder and files between the different host based hypervisors. VirtualBox can use a virtual disk in the VMware .vmdk format so it was just a matter of file transfers between computers.
