VMWare Player 5 MSI for GPO

I'd like to install VMWare Player 5 through our GPO and after completing an administrative install I found there are no .msi's

What am I missing? I know that Player 3 and I believe 4 contained .msi's in the administrative installer, is this discontinued with 5?

There is no official documentation of this so that's why I ask.

The msis are there - see screeenshot.
I already used the msi once - the exe installer extracts itself - then it runs the msi for your platform

Ah yes you are correct! I was looking in the wrong directory, instead of AppData\Local\Temp\

I'm adding a new transform based on the settings we were using in 3.0, and as one of the properties of 3.0 isn't available

Property:

AgreeToLicense

Value:

Yes

In 5.0 is there a way to automatically agree to the license (so on first run users don't have to accept it)? Adding that property:value doesn't seem to work, and while it's not a big deal, would keep users from being able to not agree
