vmware tools install thinks my VM is not a VM and won't install

I am trying to install vmware tools in a windows 7 vm under fusion 7 pro.

The installer very quickly tells me "The VMware Tools should only be installed inside a virtual machine"

So for some reason, the install does not think this is a VM....

 

This is a windows 7 VM, that was copied over from Fusion 5, and the machine type has been upgraded.

It has an old version of tools on it before I tired the install, I also tried removing the old version, and it still fails with the same error.

 

Any idea how tools makes the determination that it's not a VM ? and how to get it to understand that this is a VM ?

Has anyone seen this before ?
