"One workaround is to drag and drop your .vmwarevm file onto the VMDKMounter application. Another is to right click on your .vmwarevm file and choose Open With... and find the VMDKMounter application.

You can find VMDKMounter.app in /Library/Application Suport/VMWare Fusion/.

One last alternative is to use open from the command line.

open -a /Library/Application\ Support/VMWare\ Fusion/VMDKMounter.app /PATH/TO/Machine.vmwarevm

You could try making a service to do this as well but I suspect that VMWare in their next update will include an updated contextual menu item.

Note: Above applies to Fusion v3. VMDKMounter was removed from v4 and v5. See http://communities.vmware.com/message/1827723#1827723"
