More details in UPD question body. To install vmware tools on Centos 6. But please consider RuiFRibeiro's advise on using open-vm-tools , as clearly they are the better choice.

The above will install the VMware Tools for an environment without X nox , so no graphical windows. Other options are also available, as yum will tell you. A downside to this method seems to be that the packages are slightly more outdated than the ones that are provided with the latest ESX i -patches.
