[Sylvain Petreolle]

Vmwinst was meant to work with old vmware layout, and it grabbed the files automatically.
Now you have to extract the files from the MSI package in order to have it working,
which is far from a convenient way.

I don't know what is the benefit to use vmware's video driver either, as we can now switch video resolution on the fly.


Kind regards,
Sylvain Petreolle
