Quick question about the 64-bit guest support... does the host have to be running a 64-bit OS? I.e. can you run a VM with Linux x86-64 from 32-bit WinXP (on a 64-bit CPU of course)?

i know this isnt the right place to ask it, but do one of you both know the switch to not reboot? my vmware 5.5 reboots after install during unattended setup, in the past i used the same switches with vmware 5.0 and works always fine...
