Here's what I use for mine. 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%

no it's correct but i use this in WPI :

cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Applications\\VMware\\VMware.exe /s /v" /qn ADDLOCAL=ALL DISABLE_AUTORUN=0 SERIALNUMBER=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=1"']

the " needs to be right after /v ---> so it is /v" and the " ends after DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=1

btw if you don't want it to reboot your pc after install use this one :

cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Applications\\VMware\\VMware.exe /s /v"ADDLOCAL=ALL DISABLE_AUTORUN=0 SERIALNUMBER=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=1 /qn"']

i moved the /qn
