That works. At least it does on ESX 3.5. It's also an MSI file so it can be
deployed with group policy, which is very helpful.

Does it need AutoPlay? Did you browse to the CD drive and run setup from
there? Last time I used it, it just basically inserted a virtual CD - may

I've noticed that there are times that the autorun doesn't pop up the

AFAIK, the command to install VMWare tools just loads the virtual CD into
