The upgrade from VMware Fusion 1.x to 2.0 was smooth except for an error from Windows XP’s Device Manager. Before I could install the newest VMware Tools, Windows complained about “missing driver for Base System Device.”
Dismissing the error I installed VMware Tools 2.0 but the error persisted. On this tip I reinstalled VMware Tools using the Custom option. The VMCI driver was already selected (a head scratcher since this would suggest it was previously installed) but I continued the installation. Upon restart the missing driver was found.
