What is vmware exp? The exe links to a windows version (server or workstation) both dont need modified exe u will find bins in this forum and the way how to link them in vmware cfg files. Thats all.
vmware exp is the beta version of vmware. 185517 is a subversion of VMware 7. It seems that your method no longer works since vmware 6.5.3, I've tried that.
Can use existing BIOS The current method used for the 6.5.x builds does work with the 185517 build Build Win7 machine with all VMware settings/files in place Use current modded SLIC 2.1 BIOS Copy BIOS file to guest directory Add line to to settings file bios440.filename = "HP-SLIC_2.1.ROM" (or whatever your filename is) At this stage with guest will not boot Here is the key Delete the nvram file (VMware will recreate it) The machine now boots and guest can be activated Done!
