First you select the option VM > Install VMWare Tools... in VMWare workstation. Than an virtual CD is mounted in your Virtual linux machine (/media/VMware_Tools). If this does not happen you should mount the cdrom manually: mount /media/cdrom. This can give an failure but this is error can be ignored.
execute the rpm file:
rpm -ivh VMwareTools-*.rpm
After the rpm is installed the configure perl script can be executed:
cd /usr/bin/
./vmware-config-tools.pl
