Package Open-VM-Tools installation error

[BasicXP]

Hello!

I am unable to install the "Open-VM-Tools" package on the latest amd64 snapshot.

Do the following on the pfSense box either the box itself or SSH:

1\. fetch http://files.pfsense.org/packages/10/All/open-vm-tools-nox11-1280544_4-amd64.pbi
2\. pbi_add --no-checksig -f open-vm-tools-nox11-1280544_4-amd64.pbi
3\. add the package from the pfSense Web Interface, and it'll install

Thank you, pfSense2User! With this I successfully installed open VM tools.

However, ESXi still reports that the tools are not installed. pfSense's reboot didn't help the situation.

I have the same issue. I also noticed that on upgrade to the latest snap today, I got this in the console:

Installing Open-VM-Tools and its dependencies.ERROR can't find installed pbi (open-vm-tools-1280544_4-amd64)

It then proceeds to count 10%,20% etc upwards. So i certainly finds something.

But still shows as not installed.

So I know this is a little late to the thread here, but I am experiencing the same problem with the open-vm-tools package failing on install in the GUI due to "no digital signature".  I was able to force install with pbi_install and the –no-checksig option and verified the install with pbi_info, however  the #3 instruction to attempt install from the gui again fails for the same reason as above.

Is there anyway to install from the gui with the --no-checksig option?  Or something simple I'm missing here.  Thanks

Exactly what I was missing then, worked like a charm.  Thanks!
