VMware6 Tools

Hey...just to let you know...if you use this silent installer with Vista and put the silent installer either in one of your first logon commands or setupcomplete.cmd, the computer will restart BEFORE initializing the first desktop. This means that all commands that were queued in First Logons or setupcomplete (like WPI) will NOT be run.

To fix this problem, I simply edited the config.txt of the 7-zip silent installer and added a "/norestart" switch to the "RunProgram=" line of code.

Config.txt

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
GUIMode="2"
RunProgram="VMWAREtools.msi /qn /norestart"
;!@InstallEnd@!

This fixed the restart problem before the first desktop loaded for me, and all drivers still installed fine upon my next CONTROLLED restart. Maybe you want to incorporate the "/norestart" switch into your future VMWare tools 7-zip silent installer releases.
