Install VMware Tools on Server Core

Just to remind you all - Server Core - NO GUI!

I needed to install VMware tools today on a VM with Windows 2008 R2 Core.

Start the VMware tools install.

msiexec /i <path to>\VMware Tools64.msi /qn

Machine will reboot automatically - unless you provide the correct parameters to the msi installer

Thanks to Mike and Geert for the assistance
