Vmware tools for Windows 2000 and Linux

Vmware tools for Windows 2000 and Linux

I'm using Vmware (vmplayer 3.0.0 build-197124 on Vista Home Premium). Where can I download the Vmware tools for Windows 2000 ? vmplayer automatically downloads from the internet but I want to install it on multiple machine.

"I have looked but it doesn't seem as if you can.

Your best bet will be to download a trial of Vmware Workstation (with a similar date - if using old version of player, go for Workstation 6.0~, not sure 7 will work) and expand it, or install inside a VM (On a copy, not your main VM) then take a copy of (or a combination of) the following files:

dar

win.iso
freebsd.iso
linux.iso
netware.iso
solaris.iso
windows.iso
winPre2k.iso

Then, simply mount and install within player."

Simply, you could just install the Tools using VM > Install VMware tools if you hate complex stuff.
