While I have not looked at the installation of VMWare, I can speak about the instalation of Windows. It is possible to do this with no interaction beyond starting it. I t will take a little time to find all the details. Windows 98 is actually quite easy, and I should be able to provide the needed file. Windows 95 is possible also. It comes down to specifying an inf file (typically msbatch.inf) on the command line. There is one created for you when you install Windows 98. To make it completely non-interactive takes some modification though. If (and only if) there is interest in that information I will look it up. Might be the weekend before I can post all the gory details. If I can find it, I will post one that I have already done for Windows 98.
