Observation :
Cannot boot the windows operating system after the unsuccessful installation of VMware tools.
Windows would not boot if the VMware tools not installed correctly .
Windows will not boot and gives a blank screen .
Solution
When a Windows computer won't boot properly, you may be able to get it to boot in Safe Mode. Unfortunately Windows Installer usually won't work in Safe Mode, but here's a workaround:
1. Start your computer and press F8 before the splash screen or boot menu to enter Safe Mode.
2. Open a command prompt window.
3. Type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command:
4. REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\MSIServer" /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D "Service"
5. net start msiserver
6. Double-click on the vmware tools msi/ exe and uninstall the VMtools from your system.
Boot the Windows in Normal mode. And this time windows would boot without VMware tools on it.
