Since sometimes SCCM and other things auto-drop for us, I figured I'd look to see what it was. With procexp, I found an msiexec -Embedding call being run. What exactly is msiexec -Embedding for? And am I correct in assuming it entails that while it runs I cannot do another installation? Do I wait on it? I see that it in turn launched a C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\TPVCGateway.exe" -q -uninstall ... (which has been running for quite a while now at 0% CPU to boot).
