i’m looking for some help for installing the right version of VMware tools on my VMs
What have you already tried?
Did you checked the VMware Site?

or another option:

On the commandline:
yum install open-vm-tools

Consider me corrected! Just to be sure, I checked my shell command history, this is what I actually did:
su root
yum -y install http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/5.1/repos/vmware-tools-repo-RHEL6-9.0.0-2.x86_64.rpm
yum -y install vmware-tools-esx-nox
exit

I try on Neth 7.2 and it’s ok, no way on the stable release
On NethServer 6.7 you might try installing them from the EPEL repo.
Install EPEL repository:
yum localinstall http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm -y
Globally disable EPEL repository:
eorepo centos-{base,updates} nethserver-{base,updates}
Install open-vm-tools from EPEL repository:
yum --enablerepo=epel install open-vm-tools

So true, missed that one. Just corrected my earlier post.
