Hi, I'm using VMWare too. My problem is not only the display (screen) problem but also cursor/mouse problem. I explain: I'm using RogueSpear "Switchless Silent Installers" for VMWare 5.5. The point of this installer (VBS script) is that it will NOT run the installer unless the "computer" is a VMware machine. So, in fact it install the VMWare, but it NOT effective working UNTL the next reboot. Then I've a disply 600x400 and NO cursor control by mouse (the cursor stay fix). As I'm WPI user, I'll NOT have the automatic install if i've to rebbot. 1) Do yr screen.au3 resolve the display prroblem??? If so, do it will replace the WPI line prog REM Force resolution to needed size for wpi interface. start %CDROM%\install\WPI\Tools\VideoChanger.exe 1024x768x32@60 -q 2) Do you have cursor/mouse control working??? If so, what you did for that? TNX for yr help coucou

Moreover, I added this address to Norton Firewall/Privacy Control/Configure/Advanced and configure it as PERMIT, then I disabled Norton Firewall No chance . Finally, I added this address to IE/Tools/Options/Security/Trusted sites No chance neither. Regards coucou

Hi, Does anyone know what's gone with nirsoft link??? I tried nirsoft.net nirsoft.com and search by google... No success all links are dead. coucou

Hi Rogue, Sorry to insist, but as i wrote above, i have no vbs knowlege at all, and this is my last tolls to install in my UA DVD. 2 questions I have 1) regarding the vbs file inside yr archive, a) if i launch it from the CD, do i have to replace /OEM by any path folder like /software/vmtools/? 'B) if i launch it from the HD %systemdrive%\install\ , do i have to replace If fs.FileExists(objDrive.DriveLetter & ":\WIN51") Then strOEM = objDrive.DriveLetter & ":\OEM"by Drive.DriveLetter & ":\WIN51") Then strOEM = objDrive.DriveLetter & c) where in the end of .vbs file do i put nircmd setdisplay 1024 768 End If Next End Sub InstallVMtoolsI prefer using yr VMwareTools archive from the HD %systemdrive%\install\ because if you have more than one CD-ROM drive (which I do). Because the code you posted searches all drives, it will also search my second CD drive that I do not have CD in. At which time Windows will generate a dialog with a message stating that media is not ready in the drive. see this post Batch Script Tips and Tricks for XPCDs and here DarkShadows solution MakeMapCD.zip. 2) what msi installer do you use for the VMwareTools5.5 silent install (there is no startx or Runnhiddenconsole inside the archive)??? regarding yr VMwareTools5 you used startx. Regards & TNX for yr help coucou

Do you mean about /OEM is /$OEM$ folder in the CD ??? Do this command be added in VMWareTools.vbs file??? If so, please indicate where!And then, nircmd.exe file should be in /$OEM$ folder too? BTW, here attached a usefull tool called VideoChanger (24k) just type under CMD VideoChanger /? Regards coucou

Hi, I build a UA DVD everything goes fine, except at the last end of the installation after "Rebbot" and "Wellcome" windows, I got "Synaptic driver Certification" Error (see image bellow) . Synaptics is a Touchpad driver on Windows 2000 and WinXP Do anyone have this software or the driver??? Regards coucou

Hi RogueSpear, I just downloaded VMWareTools.7z v5.5 and start it isntallation. I created a Directory "X:\XPCD_SP2\$OEM$\$1\Install", extract there the VMWareTools.vbs and VMWareTools.exe files and finally,I configured my Winnt.sif as [GuiRunOnce] command0 = "%SystemDrive%\install\VMWareTools.vbs" Then I start the install. After the Rebbot, I got the error (see image bellow) Scrip: C:\Install\VMWareTools.vbs Line: 32 Char: 64 Error: The system cannot find the file specified. Code: 80070002 Source: (nul)VMWareTools installation failed! Although, both files "VMWareTools.vbs" and "VMWareTools.exe" are in "C:\install\ directory". As my VBS knowledge is near to 0, let me know What goes wrong??? My second question is what utlity did you used to compress VMWareTools.exe. In fact, I'm looking to set the VMware display to 1024x768. I opened "VMwareTools.exe" archive file with winrar and found in the "program files\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers\video\winnt2k\32Bit\vmx_svga.inf" file. The lines 87, 88 and 89 of it are the display setting HKR, , DefaultSettings.XResolution, %REG_DWORD%, 640 HKR, , DefaultSettings.YResolution, %REG_DWORD%, 480 HKR, , DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel, %REG_DWORD%, 32As "VMwareTools.exe" archive is locked, i can't modify it. Or, it is possible to you to modify it for me??? Regards coucou

TNX all to had enlighten me on this. coucou

Hi Bashrat, Dowwnload VMwareTools from RogueSpear Switchless Silent InstallersThread 3MB (only 550KB for drivers) Open VMwareTools.exe with winrar, you'll get a installable directory drivers VMwareTools\program files\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers Regards coucou

Many TNX BTW, did you glance my post here above how i pipe directly to a variable for UA install directly run from a CD coucou

Ah!!! When i opened yr VMwareTools.exe i found StartX.exe inside and NO trace of runhiddenconsole.exe. I found runhiddenconsole.exe , there is no comment how to use it with .msi files. I would appreciate to know a template how to use it in cinfig.txt with .msi files. Regards coucou

Hi RogueSpear, I will test it later with cmdlines.txt but I'm 100% sure it will works with [GuiRunOnce]. BTW, just for my Info, I suppose you made VMwareTools 7-zip swittchless installer. I tried mine here bellow, and when i launch VMwareTools.exe i got the message (StartX, No parameters specified...) here attached image . ;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="StartX.exe /WAIT \"msiexec /i VMwareTools.msi /qn-!\"" ;!@InstallEnd@! May you show me your confitg.txt??? Regards coucou

Hi Bashrat, Finally I solved my problem with VMwaretools HERE. It will be fine if you integrate the VMwareTools drivers and the small attached check-tools. Do you? Regards coucou

Hi, Finally i had success with a cmd file. In fact, i found a VMware Command Line Tools where vmchk.exe tool inside (here attached bellow). When vmchk.exe run from a Command Prompt IN a "VMware Virtual Machine", the message "Runing inside VMWare <version 6>." is displayed. When vmchk.exe run NOT IN a VMware Virtual Machine, the message "Not runing inside VMWare." is displayed. I wrote a small script calling vmchk.exe and check if run IN or NOT IN a VMware machine @echo off set vm=Runing inside VMWare <version 6>. vmchk.exe >chkfile.dat for /f "delims=!" %%a in (chkfile.dat) do set check=%%a If "%check%" == "%vm%" VMwaretools.exe and here pipe directly to a variable for UA install directly run from a CD @echo off for /f %%a in ('vmchk') do ( if "%%a=="Runing inside VMWare <version 6>." vmtools.exe ) Enjoy coucou

Put it on the main Roxio directory (where setup.exe is), then run it as is or compile it before runing. that's it coucou

Hi MHz, I didn't find any info neither. I started automated it with AutoIt, then i was sticked with the first windows. I couldn't uncheck the 3 [Advanced Options] (here bellow the image): - Create a shortcuts on the desktop - Run the program after the installation - Open the Readme.txt file after the installation There is NO uncheck selection individual/together. Moreover at the end of the install, many windows are opened... too much work! Finally, I found the answer for this special program. I istalled it normaly, then just copy the directory, there is no installation needed. Regards coucou

TNX r0sWell for the info. I'm using the english version too. But i intend to prepare the French version later for UA automatic FR/En selection. Regards coucou

@RogueSpear: Do yr VBscript could be launched from cmdlines.txt file as "VMWareTools.vbs" @t-12??? Regards coucou
