ran into a couple issues with the import process from MS VS2005R2
orignal vm: vs2005r2 based win2k3std w/ms vmadditions installed running on win2k3std-x64
-ms vm additions do NOT show up in add/remove programs post import, but appear to be at least partially installed
-vmware network adapter was installed, but did not migrate over the setting from the original VS2005R2. the vs2005 nic is not visible, but is still present as configuring the vmware adapter with the ip used by the original pre-import interface will pop an error regarding that ip already being assigned to a hidden adapter no longer present
-the system will post errors during startup as it tries to start the MS vmadditions service which is no longer capable of starting post import process
-installing the vmware tools causes problems with the mouse support...navigation is fine, but the buttons dont work correctly. removing the vmware mouse driver from device manager will get you back to the ps/2 driver for the mouse only and at least provide basic functionality again
-
i would definetly recommend anyone planning on importing a VS2005 source image, uninstall the MS VM Additons prior to running the import process
