/dev/vmmon error

When I start VMwarePlayer 2, error occur could not find /dev/vmmon.
In google, many people say "use vmware-config.pl", But mostly they do it as same as casting spell.
Also my VMware has not that perl file.
Maybe depend on user that boot VMwarePlayer and load module list.(need more debug myself)
Anyway,load vmmon.ko then ok.
1.check where is my vmmon.ko
# vmplayer
then it show vmmon.ko path.
2.load it
# sudo insmod _that_path_vmmon.ko
3.run VMwarePlayer

Expand VMware HardDisk

Stuck in Team Foundation Server setup on VMware machine.
When I batch Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite SP1,VM machine HD was full,could not extract that.
Tools.
  • GPARTED-CLONEZILLA

  • Virtual Disk Development Kit 1.0.1 for Windows

  • 1.Expand physical(image) Hard disk.

    cmd.exe
    >vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x GB .vmdk

    Need to set environment path to "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit\bin" or drug "vmware-vdiskmanager.exe" on cmd window.
    2.Expand partition.
    Boot target VM machine from .iso.
    (when VM machine start F2 => go BIOS => Boot device setting)
    Easy GUI,but better chose lang = "EN" otherwise garble.(in my case)
