This post is to share the information about how to manually download VMware tools ISO image for various Operating systems based on VMware vSphere versions including the latest version of vSphere such as vSphere 6.5 . VMware tools varies for each and every operating system. When we try to install or Upgrade VMware tools using vSphere client, It will automatically mount the associated VMware tools ISO into virtual CD ROM drive of your virtual machine based on the Guest Operating system of the virtual machine. If in case you face any problem with mounting VMware tools ISO image to the virtual machine using vSphere client, you can manually download VMware tools ISO image from the VMware website and install it manually on the respective guest operating system.
VMware Player is a software program that allows having multiple operating systems on one computer using more virtual machines. It helps to easy operate any virtual machine created by VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion, VMware Server or VMware ESX, as well as Microsoft Virtual Server virtual machines or Microsoft Virtual PC virtual machines. My recent VMWare Player update to v12.5.7 ran into problem and crashed right after the auto download. The old version no longer worked. However, the manual update from the VMware website completed the download and automatically repaired whatever the damage.

Not sure why you tried to get it from oldapps, it's available from the official site
The System Requirements page indicates that a 64-bit host OS is required, which implies a 64-bit CPU. At the bottom of the page, they say that you can run a 32-bit OS inside VM Player which is probably not what you want. They further clarify that VM Player Plus 6 is the last version to support a 32-bit OS (and CPU) and that you can purchase Player 7 and downgrade the key in order to use Player 6 with a current license and support.
If you want it for personal use, then VM Player 6.0.7 free (non-Pro, non-trial) is—at the time of this writing—the last version that you can get which will run on a 32-bit CPU.

If you are wondering what features you will be missing out on, you can check the Release Notes of later versions. For the most part, it is just bug- and security-fixes, occasionally adding support for new OSes (e.g., Windows 10), improving performance, changing/adding/improving the virtual hardware devices, and sometimes changing system limits.
In case you concerned about using an older version, notice that VM Player 6.0.7 was released on July 7th, 2015, a full 7 months after version 7.0.0 was released. This shows that they have not completely dropped support for version (32-bit) Player 6 and are, for the time being, providing security-fixes and even bug-fixes. You can also request support for any problems you encounter by posting in the VMWare Player forums.

SynetechLike Ramhound already mentioned, VMware decided to drop support for 32-bit versions of Windows in VMware Workstation 11 and VMware Player 7. This also means that support is present up to VMware Workstation 10 and VMware Player 6.
All valid VMware Setup files have a digital signature which you can view and verify in the Right Click → Properties dialog.
