VMware Workstation 11 on Windows Vista

[WinClient5270]

Well it appears that we've made a slight breakthrough...

I finally managed to extract the installer using Command Prompt. And as a result, I got an MSI file along with a few other installation files. I took the MSI file and modified it with Orca MSI Editor, and I was able to easily remove the OS restriction in the file. However, there's another problem..

When I opened the MSI, I got an error about Windows Installer. My assumption is, Windows Vista only recieved Windows Installer 4.5, and this requires 5.0 to work properly, which unfortunately isn't available for Vista.

I'm about out of ideas.. Thoughts anyone?

What command do you use to extract those files? I used 7-zip and there were only two files with rare names within the .exe
