VMware player: could not find component on update server

Question

I installed MacOS 10.15 "Catalina" on VMWare Workstation Player in Windows 10 as host. Now I want to install VMWare Tools so I clicked Player -> Manage -> Install VMware tools but I got this error:

I am using this version of player:

VMware® Workstation 15 Player
15.5.2 build-15785246

You can download the latest version here: https://packages.vmware.com/tools/releases/latest/windows/x64/

Notice this folder is for Windows x64, browse for your OS, if different.

Download to your VM and install... then close the VM to get everything in sync.
