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.
If "vmwinst.exe" or the "new hardware wizard" would accept a directory
with the VMware drivers, great. Setup phase 2 VMWINST definately doesn't
work (for later ISO, as you mention above), so you're right it's
pointless there. Being able to supply a USB flash disk, floppy,
harddrive directory or some custom directory with the proper drivers,
would be nice.
Or alternatively, 'just' have the MSI file work properly (which is
horribly difficult or this situation wouldn't exist in the first place)
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.
Hardware Acceleration ? 3D Hardware OpenGL? Proper resolutions (for
widescreens) ? A generic/universal/simple VESA driver has its limitations.
