Hello,

where can I find the response file of the "Easy Setup" for Windows XP?

I'd like to create an own Installation Image and thew preconfigured VMware file would certainly be a good starting point for this purpos (since correct drivers are identified, and there's no need to scan the virtual hardware ...)

Thanx in advance.
Best regards,

Sarge

Hi continuum,

sounds good, but where do I find it?

I guess it's an ISO File (?), but I have not found any in a VMware directory (not in Install-Directory of the Player and not in the directory containiingthe VM.)
I only found "windows.iso", which contained the VMware Tools.

Was ist deleted again, after installation of the VM?

Best regards, Sarge

look for a *.flp file - I guess it will be deleted after use.

So start a new easy-install but do not start the VM yet. Then look in the directory of the VM - there you should find that floppy-image - it can be opened with Winimage or a virtual floppy-drive
