Hello.
After uninstalling by mistake the VMWare tools component from the windows virtual machine on my environment (DLX - Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard W/Hyper-V) i lost access to the virtual machine.
I tried to manually install the missing component using a VNC connection and following the instructions present at: https://support.cloudshare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200701895-Machine-is-missing-essential-components-VMware-
The problem is that the virtual machine is not able to connect to the internet so that i can download and install the missing components.
In this case, i would request that you install the missing VMWare Tools component on the virtual machine so that the normal usage can be restored.
Best regards,

  interesting, did you try uploading the vmware tools installer to your cloud folder? that might still work.

  If not, uninstalling vmware can be pretty bad. you should probably revert to a snapshot
