No way: you need the vmware-tools.

Cannot download?

CDS Repository - /var/www/public/stage/session-203/cds/vmw-desktop/ws/12.5.7/5813279/windows/package...

You'll need the WinPre2k one.

Then untar it, after which you run the .exe which will then put a .iso file in your C:\Program Files\VMware ... somewhere folder.

But I would first make sure you not already have a WinPre2k.iso down there.

As as bonus, once you manage to install VMware Tools, you can drag and drop files from the host machine to the Windows 98SE VM.

This would be how you can drag and drop the Creative Ensoniq Windows 95/98 audio drivers into the VM after downloading through the host machine. I would advise against connecting the Windows 98SE VM to the internet.

Here is the link to the Windows 95/98 audio driver
