I am not sure whether Compiz will work in Ubuntu VM.
VMWare tools can be installed by first untaring the tar file when you say Install VMWare Tools. After unzipping invoke vmware-tools.pl by doing sudo su and typing your user password.

can u give the whole script plz and options to click after the intall.pl file is run

The installation itself will prompt you for options.Follow them carefully.
