I know that it's been a long time since I posted this thread but, frankly I was never able to find a legacy version of Workstation 5.x to download.

I gave up in frustration. I've tried to contact VMware directly and I've tried every type of search I can think of ...no joy.

Another issue has come up that requires me to retrieve a file from the old Windows 2K virtual machine, so I'm trying to revive the discussion..

Please, if anyone out there can help, I would appreciate it.
