VMware Tools - VMware H/W Detection

[`Felix`]

Hi All,

Something that i would like to do is do a check of the machine environment at first logon and if windows is running inside VMware, then i would like to launch the VMware Tools installation automatically.

My question is 1. is it possible to detect that Windows is running inside VMware? 2. If it is possible - how to do it?

Appreciate any help or advise.

Cheers

Darren

In this thread I have a download that contains a switchless silent installer and an accompanying VBscript that does exactly what you're looking for. The script utilizes WMI to read the BIOS in order to determine that the "computer" is actually VMware.
