Install of VMWare tools doesn't work without some fiddling. First of all, eject the virtual CD-ROM by (as root) typing:

Now you can 'Install VMWare tools' in the ESXi management interface. This will simply 'insert' the CD with the software, because Slackware won't auto-run anything unless you've set that up.

You may find the file is called something other than vmware-tools-distrib.tar.gz, there should only be one tarball.
