Windows Drivers for VMware Virtual Machines

Here's the quickest way I've found to get the latest Windows drivers for a VMware VM.

1. Download the appropriate version of the VMware tools ISO from the following site:

http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/index.html


2. Mount the ISO to a virtual CD drive.  In my example, I used h:\.

3. Create a folder in C:\ called "extract".

4. Launch the command prompt and run the following command:

 setup64.exe /A /P c:\extract.

5. Specify the location of the extract folder when prompted.

6. The windows drivers will be located in the following location:

C:\extract\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\VMware\Drivers
