To install vmwaretools on debian 7 (wheezy):
- First install the dependencies as root:
apt-get install gcc make binutils linux-headers-$(uname -r)
or just: apt-get install gcc make linux-headers-$(uname -r)
After extract to a temporary folder the vmware-tools-distrib.tar.gz file or whatever named.
su
chmod -R 777 vmware-tools-distrib
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
Then answer yes/no or just type enter accepting all questions.

Eventually, I got the error message thrown by the vmwaretool installer:
/tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmhgfs-only/fsutil.c: In function 'HgfsChangeFileAttributes':

make: *** [vmhgfs.ko] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmhgfs-only'
Checking the output, at first sight, it seems like some version incompatibility, but ...
Solution:
The windows 7 was reinstalled, and the vmware workstation application was updated to the latest release (8.06).
Problem over!
