VMware install options

I am loyal fan of VMware, it's a stable, powerful s/f
but recently, i found that they add a new function -
"Easy Install". it's like a rapiXX, and force you to use it
everytime when you install.

It should have a place to disable This function.
are there any bodies can tell me how to disable this. Please!

Thanks

Are you talking about the installation options when creating a new VM ?
If so, I was under the impression this can be disabled.
If you select "custom O/S" when installing, and then select "I will install the O/S later" it wont do the auto install thing.

Hi,

One question:

What is the reason?

I tried to install Ubuntu last week and couldn't install 'VMWare Tools' because of 'Easy install' was running or something like that.

The solution that worked for me was using autodetect for both the floppy and the CD/DVD.

Regards,
Birei

I must assume you are using the Windows version, because VMFusion on the Mac is easy-peasy.

There's a check-box, plainly visible during the selection process.

If it's not there, perhaps it's under some menu. But it should definitely be possible to disable it.
