from the vmware-tools-distrib directory for a successful upgrade of VMware tools to the latest version. To correct the issue, I simply created the ppd directory in /etc/cups as follows: ![]() Because the /etc/cups directory existed, the script could not create a symbolic link in the /etc/cups directory. VMware tools leverages CUPS for ThinPrint / Virtual Printers in Linux systems. It seemed that CUPS was already present on the server I was upgrading – CUPS is an open source software for modular printing in Unix-like systems. ![]() During the install I received an error message ‘Unable to create symlink “/etc/cups/ppd/VMware_Virtual_Printer.ppd” pointing to file “/usr/lib/vmware-tools/configurator/thinprint.ppd”. I was doing a vSphere 5.0 to 5.1 upgrade in my home lab tonight and ran into a small issue with upgrading VMware Tools on a Linux VM.
