For resolve :
Open a new terminal :

sudo apt-get install mlocate
sudo updatedb
sudo locate ifconfig

The anwser is /usr/src/linux-headers-x.xx.x-xx/tools/hv/hv_set_ifconfig.sh

In your other terminal when you want to install vmware tool with sudo ./vmware-install.pl -d and when he ask "setup is unable to find the "ifconfig" program etc" write yes and write this :
/usr/src/linux-headers-x.xx.x-xx/tools/hv/hv_set_ifconfig.sh

Enter

And they finish alone to install vmware tools.

Edit : For me, it's was : /usr/src/linux-headers-4.10.0-19/tools/hv/hv_set_ifconfig.sh

/usr/src/linux-headers-x.xx.x-xx/tools/hv/hv_set_ifconfig.sh should be entered in your other terminal when installing a VMware utility with sudo./vmware-install.pl -d and the message "Setup is unable to find the "ifconfig" programme etc." appears. Enter They complete installing VMware tools by themselves.

When i faced this issue then i installed the "apt-get install net-tools -y" command this helped alot to find the ifconfig program on your machine.

In Ubuntu 17.04 and later versions, the ifconfig command has been deprecated in favor of the ip command. This change was made to modernize the network configuration tools used in Ubuntu.

To install VMware Tools on your Ubuntu 17.04 guest, you can try the following steps:

Update your Ubuntu system to make sure you have the latest package information:

sql
Copy code
sudo apt-get update
Install the necessary packages for building kernel modules:

arduino
Copy code
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Mount the VMware Tools installation CD from the VMware menu:

In VMware Workstation or VMware Player, go to the "VM" menu, then select "Install VMware Tools."
This will mount a virtual CD containing the VMware Tools installer.

Extract the contents of the VMware Tools CD to a temporary location. You can do this by opening a terminal and running the following commands:

bash
Copy code
mkdir ~/vmware-tools
cp /media/cdrom/VMwareTools-.tar.gz ~/vmware-tools
cd ~/vmware-tools
tar -xzvf VMwareTools-
.tar.gz
Navigate to the extracted directory:

bash
Copy code
cd vmware-tools-distrib
Run the VMware Tools installer script with superuser privileges:

bash
Copy code
sudo ./vmware-install.pl
During the installation process, you may be prompted with questions. When asked about the location of the ifconfig program, you can simply press Enter to accept the default value, which should work correctly with the ip command:

bash
Copy code
/usr/bin
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.

After the installation is complete, you may need to reboot your Ubuntu guest for the changes to take effect:

Copy code
sudo reboot
Once your Ubuntu guest has restarted, VMware Tools should be installed and working. You can check its status by running the following command:
https://voxblend.com/

Copy code
vmware-toolbox-cmd -v
This should display the installed version of VMware Tools, confirming that it's working correctly.

Ubuntu 17.04 does not have ifconfig program installed in default, so it doesnt mean to enter the location of ifconfig program rather we need to install the ifconfig program before try to install the VMWare tools on Ubuntu 17.04 (Guest)

apt-get install net-tools -y
