Most of us do a lot of VM installs and it is always a pain in the but to install the VMWare tools after installation.

Now all you need to do is use this addon and the tools will be integrated at the t-13 stage.

You can also have this on your final ISO, the install will simply quit and not install on your real machine.

Where are you getting this build 7 from?

The way we do the svcpack addon is by running an admin install on the tools first. i.e. ----> msiexec.exe /a vmwaretools.msi <---- and then you have to add the drivers back into the right folder (It doesn't copy them all for some reason.)

It comes with the version of VMware I am using. Maybe because it's the ACE version it's updated? I'm not sure.

I tried installing the tools through runonce not using any switches and it installed fine. I think I got it now. Running final test tonight hopefully.

I am using VMWare ace and the addon from the first page and no problems.

but this is a switchless installer, i was hoping for the T-13 version as per your usual addons.

So I take it that the switchless installer is now the version to use?

Yes just make a addon with it

Could you tell me how you were able to make this addon? 7.8.4.5078 is out, and I can't make a working addon anymore :crying_anim02:

admin install leaves out a lot of needed files.

I have a updated version of the tools in the VMware addon post

BTW the trick is NOT do do a admin install anymore, just 7zip the x86 or x64 MSI installer along with the "Program Files" folder and ALL the CAB's

hi rick! sorry if i double posted (i got confused with a couple or about 3 vmware topics). Ricks_VMwareTools7.8.5b156735.7z dl link is broken. i have an older vers: Ricks_VMwareTools6.0.0.45731_AddOn.rar & Kels_VMware6Tools_Addon_v1.cab. where could i get the latest pls? btw, VMware-workstation-6.0.0-45731 is what i have. would this update the vmware tools in 6 too? or would it cause conflict? thanks!

Sorry kiki but I am just not into VMware anymore, gave it up...just too big and bloated for me (not to mention I have slow internet and to dl 500+ MB really takes a loooooong time)

I am also disappointed & sad nobody has really taken over this program

that's sad! what are you using now: virtualbox? thanks!

I will try tomorrow, see if I can make a final vmware release

that will be awesome rick. i'm sure there are others waiting for this too. just like my previous Qs, i need to know though if the updated vmware tools would work with VMware-workstation-6.0.0-45731 since this is what i have. would it upgrade the current vmware tool (in VMware-workstation-6.0.0-45731) to the current vmware tool version (which you'd try to release)? btw, i recall you & kel combining your efforts on this before, right? this is a great addon esp for those always creating new unattended builds (to slipstream/integrate updates & addons). thanks a lot rick (same goes to kel)! cheers!

dl link from the 1st post is broken.
