Mount your linux.iso disk in NixOS.
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Should be something like

$ ls                                                                                  
manifest.txt  run_upgrader.sh  VMwareTools-9.9.0-2304977.tar.gz  vmware-tools-upgrader-32  vmware-tools-upgrader-64 

Before you can install them you’ll need to do some tweaks (see thread about [Nix-dev] VMware Guest Tools). I’ve planned to give it a try but haven’t gotten around it yet.
