I'm in the process of virtualising a number of Netware 5.1 servers - I assumed that the vmware tools (netware.iso, apparently) would be on the ESX install media but I can't find this file anywhere, not can I locate a downloadable instance on this web site (or anywhere else).

Is anyone able to point me in the right download direction for the Netware tools?

Many thanks for all assistance offered :)

Hmmm, don't have a folder structure that looks like that on any of the install images I have (all downloaded from this site). I've searched all the images and can't find that file. Is it downloadable seperately anywhere?

DP alert: I found the file buried deep inside a ZIP file via this question: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/205465

Not 100% sure whether it's the correct version.

In ESX 3.5 U4 the VMware tools are in VMware-esx-tools-3.5.0-103908 rpm package.
An ISO are in /vmimages/tools-isoimages/

Do you have this directory?

My apologies for misunderstanding you in the first instance. I was looking on the install media, not in the ESX filesystem itself.

Got it now. Thank you very much for your patient assistance.

Sorry, I've not understood ;)

I do not know if there is a single iso file.
But you can extract from the RPM.
