If you have the .MSI file in C:\Temp, you can do

msiexec -i "C:\Temp\VMware Tools.msi" ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=Hgfs /qn

This will exclude the Shared Folders feature

Me idea is to create a powershell script, that will do all post installs , config after windows 2008 is installed.

You can call program, in this case msiexec, from PowerShell.

Or do you have something else in mind ?
