| Hi,
I trying to do unattended installations of Windows on VMWare.
Does anyone know of a utility that can extract the contents of the VMWare
Tools.msi file so that I can get at the driver .inf files (etc).
I've found a couple of tools (ZipZag & Les MSIarables) that should have done
the trick but neither worked.
Thanks in advance

Have you tried installing it onto a system a grabbing it from there?

Spiro.

I found the .sys & .drv files in the windows directory, but not the .inf or
oemsetup file which I think is needed.

When installing drivers, Windows renames every *.inf into oemX.inf, with
X counting up, and puts it into C:\Windows\INF (or wherever
%SystemRoot%\INF points to).
HTH,
