Windows 10: Can't uninstall VMware Tools after upgrading to Windows Vista

So I upgraded to Windows Vista from Windows XP with VMware Tools for Windows XP installed, but now I can't uninstall it. The reason I want uninstall it and not just update VMware Tools, because if I try that, it says, "Setup requires Windows 7 SP1" or something along the lines of that, even though it's quite literally meant for Windows Vista.But the main issue here is I can't uninstall VMware Tools for Windows XP on Windows Vista.

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
