Recently I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my new laptop HP Envy 17 and It always stuck at Installing Vmware Tool like following:

Vmware Easy Install

PLEASE WAIT! VMware Tools is currently being 
installed on your system. Depending on the 
version of Ubuntu you are installing, you may 
log in below and use the system during 
intallation. Otherwise, please wait for the 
graphical environment to launch. Thank you.

ubuntu login:_

To resolve the issue:

Follow the 3 Steps ...

1. Restore the /etc/issue file:
   sudo mv /etc/issue.backup /etc/issue
2. Restore the /etc/rc.local file:
   sudo mv /etc/rc.local.backup /etc/rc.local
3. Restore the /etc/init/lightdm.conf file:
   sudo mv /opt/vmware-tools-installer/lightdm.conf /etc/init

Then reboot.

Also after reboot even I did full screen from VMware Player the Ubuntu screen is still small  so what I have to do is just go to setting icon and go to Displays.... like following picture and try to change resolution till you find the best one:

Then you will be asked to login to your system graphically and everything is fine.
Hope it helps!
