VMware Drivers ... get them for free


Recommended Posts

Since a lot of us are using VMware workstation to test their unattended installation, I am providing the necessary drivers for the "virtual" hardware.

The benefit is that you can test the driver installation process and your virtual machine is fully functionnal upon completion.

Just download, extract to your $OEM$\$1\Drivers folder and add the following to your winnt.sif

[Unattended]
OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\VMware\hgfs\win2k;Drivers\VMware\memctl;Drivers\VMware\mouse;
Drivers\VMware\scsi;Drivers\VMware\video;Drivers\VMware\vmxnet"

EDIT: I had to break the code in 2 lines so make sure there is no space or line break in your code

You can also put all the drivers files in the VMware directory and just add this to winnt.sif:

[Unattended]
OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\VMware"

I must thank prathapml for giving me this tip!

VMware.exe
