It's the d/l from the VMTN subscription, but I imagine that it's the same (don't know why it's an exe rather than an msi).CALL :BuildPackage "Installing VMWare 5.0.0-13124" ^ "%AUTOPATH%\System\VMWare\VMware-workstation-5.0.0-13124.exe /s /v/qb" ^ "*REGEDIT /S %AUTOPATH%\System\VMWare\VMWare.reg" type %PACKAGE_LOG% >> %XPCD_LOGFILE% Edited November 3, 2005 by gosherm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
