How to download VmWareTools for (win, linux, solaris) hostOS (!) without starting guest VM?

Whenever a new VmWare Tools version is released then it should be installed in

 

- guestOS

- hostOS

 

Ok, guestOS is clear.

 

But what about the hostOS Is there a way to install it in hostOS WITHOUT having to start/boot a VM?

 

Currently the only way I found so far to install it in hostOS is to start a VM. Then VmWare Player detects that a new version is available for HostOS and show a prompt dialog.

I had to click on "Download and install" button.

 

Is this "download and install" possible WITHOUT having to start a VM?

 

Furthermore the "Download and install" should be possible for a different guestOSs: Linux, Windows, Solaris.

 

How can I achieve this?

 

Thank you

Matt
