Download vmware-vdiskmanager.exe separately? Show version?

As far as I know vmware-vdiskmanager.exe (for Windows) is included in VmWare Workstation.

But is this tool available for download separately as well?

If yes: Where exactly can I download it?

Further question:

How exactly can I find out the version of an existing local vmware-vdiskmanager program?

vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -version

option does not exist.

You can download a version of the utility from http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1023856 (see "Attachments")

For the version of the utility, either run it with the /? command line switch to see the build number or take a look at the file properties in the Windows Explorer for version and build information.

Aside from the link that André posted, vmware-vdiskmanager.exe is also included in the VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit and although it is not an individual file as in the VMware KB, Repairing a virtual disk in Fusion 3.1 and Workstation 7.1, nonetheless I though it should be mentioned.

You can now (2015-03-29) get it at:

VDDK for vSphere 6.0 - VMware Developer Center

https://developercenter.vmware.com/web/sdk/60/vddk

found it by searching for "VDDK Documentation"

or

Virtual Disk Development Kit 6.0 site:vmware.com

at duckduckgo.com

it is in the SDK file download (linux file name: VMware-vix-disklib-6.0.0-2498720.x86_64.tar.gz)
