Write this in a bash script, and you have yourself an unattended installer (almost). Assumption here is all the vmware tools prerequisites have been installed (Perl, etc.)

 mkdir /mnt/cdrom
 mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
 cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-*.tar.gz /tmp
 umount /mnt/cdrom
 tar -zxf /tmp/VMwareTools-*.tar.gz -C /tmp
 ./tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl --default
 rm -f /tmp/VMwareTools-*.tar.gz
 rm -rf /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
