@Rick - How can I install this silently? I tried using qn or qb switch but it will not install. I'm using win7 x64. Thanks

Did you include a forward slash? (run msiexec /a for silent switches)

Added to switch and worked perfect

After installation, when i run it, it require license, when i enter a key, i get this message, even when i run it as administrator (Windows 8.1/7 64bit):

VMware Workstation Lite 12.1.1-3770994

VMware Workstation Pro 12.5.0 Build 4352439 Released

https://download3.vmware.com/software/wkst/file/VMware-workstation-full-12.5.0-4352439.exe

 

Lite edition please Rick!

Could you make a tool to run at post-install to make the installed one become lite? (preferably with optional features). This could be easier for you to make it compatible with future versions.

Thanks in advance.

 

PS: A GUI based one would be nice but there's no need to use GUI if your Batch Script's syntax-and-use is embedded on itself. I suggest to use a switch (for example "-?") to request the documentation, like DOS commands do.

PS2: This is not my native language… please excuse my bad english.
