I recently upgraded to Vsphere an began upgrading VMware tools. I had a problem on a Windows 2008 VM, that would not install the new version of VMware tools. I could not uninstall the old version either. I found this solution.

1) Switch to the CD-ROM with the VMware Tools ISO mounted.
2) Run setup.exe /c to do a manually removal of the registry keys from the previous VMware Tools version
3) Re-run the setup.

I modded my VCB-script a little to work with a standalone esxi. Check it out

1. Convert the VM using the coldclone-cd (comes with Converter Enterprise)
2. Boot a Freesbie CD on the ESX-VM
3. Mount da0s1a by doing the following (as root)
4. mkdir /home/mnt
5. mount -t ufs /dev/da0s1a /home/mnt
6. ee /home/mnt/etc/fstab
7. change ad0xxx in all lines to da0xxx
8. save and reboot

Here is a few tips for running freebsd on ESX: http://ivoras.sharanet.org/freebsd/vmware.html
