Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to evaluate SmartDeploy.

Please check for the following keys in regedit and remove them if they exist. Also, please ensure no snapshots have been created on the VM.

  • SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{FE2F6A2C-196E-4210-9C04-2B1BC21F07EF}
  • SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\VMTools
  • SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\VMwareTools
  • SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{96B74176-0BA4-4F5D-B3A5-466EAD9E73BD}

Thanks,

SmartDeploy Support
