yadzil Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Hi Rick, Thanks for the latest update.I already try this latest addon maker but unfortunately the addon created is Ricks_VMwareLite6.5.2b156735.7z......I thought 6.5.3. Is there any wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Yea the executable other stuff is the right version just the addon name is wrong, I think I will completely redo this because for some reason the program will not work for meReason its taking long is not much time and also I dont use VMware anymore, using the free one with windows 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) Updated, untested (no time to) vmtools still need updating & will do tomorrowRick,I think you didnt put in your configuration pre-set or something, with the older version, you disabled some stuff, which I really liked (like the machine not automaticly starting (power on virtual machine automaticly) etc, and easy install disabled). Now I have the new version, and its all enabled again. Could you check if there is something wrong ? Edited October 4, 2009 by Raoul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahed Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) OK, I have managed to make a lite version. Now I just need to test it thoroughly before I post.The lite version i managed to get it down to "160MB" (Also has x64 support as well)EDIT:I think I can strip this down to "140MB"EDIT: 2Am going to need more time on this one, theres something wrong, i know what the problem is, just need more time editing and fine tuning the MSI file Edited October 27, 2009 by shahed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredpsycho83 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 can't wait to download your lite version shahed !just a question, when you say 140MB, is it the installed place, or the msi package ? if it is the msi package how much space does it take when its installed ?

shahed Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Ricks script does not work anymore with the new one, therefore i will just release it in "Switchless installer" section.I repacked VM7 my way, means you can still change things around, but without a scrip and use winrar instead to change commands etc.I will provide the link on this thread as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My installer is now less than 32MB. I also like how you didn't just delete the unused features, you only flagged them not to install. Using this method, I was also able to create a 64-bit installer just by re-enabling the 64 bit components.I did notice one feature that I think you can also easily exclude - WSJaDocs feature (below Docs). Either that, or just turn off installation for the entire Docs feature.Thanks, again, for building on Ricks hard work!Uncle GadgetEdit: I just realized that WSJaDocs is disabled as it is a sub-feature of Japanese Docs. Still, it might work as well by turning off the entire Docs feature. Edited November 7, 2009 by Uncle_Gadget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle_Gadget Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 bjfrog (or others)Has anyone had any luck creating a slimmed down tools installer? None of the methods I've used past versions are working with v8.1.3, build203739.Uncle Gadget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
