VMX-builder

I made a simple cmd that creates a vmx-file from scratch.
The output can be launched in a VMplayer-session - unless you misconfigure disks.

A virtual SCSI-disk connected as IDE-disk or other errors will prevent the VM to start.

I want to add some more options and error-checking soon.

 

Here is the vmx-builder.cmd (60kb)

Any suggestions are welcome.
