Deleted any file with vmware in it and job done.<br /><br />FYI you could have just bunged in a Bart PE disk as the VM boot cd. This would have allowed you to delete the drivers from the VM hard disk, and also modded the registry if you needed to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164534.post-41871135179836741522009-07-11T15:15:02.806-04:002009-07-11T15:15:02.806-04:00Good question, Anonymous. So far, leaving the VMWare Tools installed has caused no problems, aside from preventing my installation of the AMD network driver from VirtualBox&#39;s Guest Additions. The VM continues to work flawlessly.Carlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08674198657010416085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164534.post-81624858756841406482009-07-11T08:35:27.813-04:002009-07-11T08:35:27.813-04:00What trouble does it cause to NOT uninstall the VMware tools inside the VM?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164534.post-38101476548234408432009-05-15T00:21:00.000-04:002009-05-15T00:21:00.000-04:00Oh mysterious one, I think people keep using VMWare because it's the best-known virtualizer, so it's often the first one people try. Then there's inertia keeping them using it.Carlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08674198657010416085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164534.post-23496323445527803992009-05-13T02:31:00.000-04:002009-05-13T02:31:00.000-04:00I faced the same problem, and had the same frustrations.
