Hi,

I'm using vmware server 1.0.5. After update from 7.10 to 8.04  I just run vmware-config.pl again and everything worked fine.

I removed some unused operating systems (windows), installed new clean 8.04 and try to install the same vmware distribution. It did not worked even with vmware-any-any-update-116.

This worked for me:
