In $OEM$\$1\Drivers\VMware I placed the vmware video drivers. In my Winnt.sif, I added:

DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
OemPnPDriversPath = Drivers\vmware

Add that to the [Unattended] section of your Winnt.sif

Also, you need to install vmware tools in a running Virtual machine and then get the drivers from Program files\Vmware\Drivers\Video or something similar (insided the VM).

I click on Install Vmware tools, and I wait for nothing, I don't see a window and it does not install anything. I can go and click Cancel Install Vmware.

You need to have your OS installed on vmware first. Then bootup your VM and then install.

[xtremexxx]

Yes, I know and did that.

Hmm, Your vmware tools should install. I think I had the same problem once and had to reboot the vm to get it to install, anyway...

Here, try these.

VMware Video Drivers

I modified the inf for a resolution of 1024x768x32. VMware tells you that in order to have a display res higer than 640x480, you have to install the drivers but then it defaults to 640x480 anyway.

[vmx_svga_SoftwareDeviceSettings]
HKR, , InstalledDisplayDrivers, %REG_MULTI_SZ%, vmx_fb
HKR, , VgaCompatible, %REG_DWORD%, 0
HKR, , DefaultSettings.XResolution, %REG_DWORD%, 1024
HKR, , DefaultSettings.YResolution, %REG_DWORD%, 768
HKR, , DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel, %REG_DWORD%, 32

That's what I changed...

Very nice indeed, I'm testing xpcd on vmware right now.

[jrzycrim]

Did you ever get your video problem solved?

[xtremexxx]

**** forgot to answer, yes I did manage to do it It's great

[jrzycrim]

No sweat. I was just curious if those drivers worked for you.

[xtremexxx]

They sure did allright
