WARNING WARINING WARNING

Clicking on the download link for this tool on 9/5/2014 and my firewall stopped the download and reported the file is infected with a ZBOT Trojan. I HIGHLY recommend NOT RUNNING or downloading this tool until somebody at VMware explains this. DO NOT RUN THIS on any master image or you may be installing a Trojan for all of your linked clones or other guests!.

I just ran it through virustotal.com and came back fine, hopefully yours is a false positive.
