[Release] VMware Tools AddOn

[ricktendo]

Most of us do a lot of VM installs and it is always a pain in the but to install the VMWare tools after installation.

Now all you need to do is use this addon and the tools will be integrated at the t-13 stage.

Before you ask if these are left on for a real install the silent installer will simply fail, no interruptions or anything just no install.

Hello, ricktendo64.

It´s a very nice and util addon.

I use a VMWareTools from RogueSpear, with a .vbs modded to include Videochanger.exe for setting display in 1024x768x32x85 under VMWare.

What I have to do for same with your addon? If it´s possible.

[ricktendo]

UM I dont know... This is just a silent switch addon of the VMware Tools inside the Windows.iso in Program Files\VMware Workstation

Maybe nLite can set the rez... Im gonna try and see if the registry can maybe set the rez and try and make a RunOnce inf or something...

I set the res in my winnt.sif file and it works in VMWare with this addon...

[0d14r3]

Hi, Kelsenellenelvian.

I never work with winnt.sif.

Setting resolution in winnt.sif will change the resolution in VMWare only or my real machine too?

Were in winnt.sif I change for set resolution?

Thanks Kelsenellenelvian and rictendo64 for yours reply.

This is well needed. Thansk a lot for creating a self-detecting addon. Now I can test my installs with peace of mind, and not have to worry about installing the VMTools package. Very cool.

Thanks
