Thanks for the report - this looks like the tool aren't being downloaded, so the $deploy_tools variable isn't being set to true.
Can you post the output of facter -p and confirm if VMware Tools are already installed, as well as the exact parameters you're passing to the module?
With regards to params, I'm passing version and md5 (tar.gz downloaded using Puppet).
I found that some vmware-tools packages was deployed already. Manually removing these solved my issue.
However, puppet still does this on every run:
notice: /Stage[main]/Vmwaretools::Config_tools/Exec[vmware_config_tools]/returns: executed successfully

My Ubuntu machines does not show this behavior.
The problem with the never ending installation on CentOS is triggered by wrong value for: config_creates_real
For CentOS, it should stay at the default value.
Awesome, thanks!
FWIW, this will be fixed in version 0.4.1 of the module (currently in testing - you can try it out by cloning direct from GitHub rather than downloading from the Forge) as I'm moving to an lsmod unless-check on the vmware-config-tools exec :)
I'll close this issue for now, but please do feel free to re-open it if the issue still happens after 0.4.1 :)
