Topic: Drivers for VMWare and VirtualBox?

Wouldn't these 'drivers' be more appropriately handled by one or two (or three?) third party driver packs than as nlite/RVMIntegrator addons?

Re: Drivers for VMWare and VirtualBox?

Personally, I would prefer an addon, because if you just add the drivers, I fear the virtual machine might not detect the VW additions to be installed properly (as the installer never run) which again might result in some undesired behaviour (ie, drag&drop not working between host and guest).

Just something to consider.

Re: Drivers for VMWare and VirtualBox?

I call the VMWare tools from a script, it's quite easy and effective.

The mass storage drivers are in the mass pack...

there's no need to put a lot of time in another method, is there?
