Using latest WB 74 with Moa-lite selected only. First part, downloading and setup of NativeEX-lite folders, etc. is OK. Now it says to extract VMWare Player into the Moa folder.
I have VMware-player-2.0.2-59824.exe ( and also older VMware-player-2.0.1-55017.exe ). The latest one is already installed along with latest Workstation on host system. What exactly do you mean by Extract? How?

you have to extract the files from the installer: VMware-player-2.0.1-55017.exe
Simply point to it and hit the extract button.

Goto MOA >> VMWare Player / Workstation >> Type the path to your VMware-player-2.0.1-55017.exe into 'Path to Setup program' >> click 'Extract files' (Takes some minutes to extract several MB)

Thanks, everyone. Followed above advice. Ran extract OK. Started build. Error on missing tabctl32.ocx needed for VMXBuilder. That file is not on my main XPsp2 host system, it is not in the W2003 sever source used for the build, and is not on any OS CD that I have. Googled it, but concerned about any sites for downloading ( looks like a Visual Basic library file ). So, I unchecked VMXBuilder, and then ran the build again. Good thing I also have VirtualBox installed.... it opened the iso in it.

Any suggestion as to a reliable source for that tabctl32.ocx? Do I really need the VMXBuilder, since I have VMware WS 6?

tabctl32.ocx is contained in the CoreSetup program you can download from http://petruska.stardock.net/software/
The link is in the very first line.

You do not really need VMXBuilder to run VMPlayer, but it is nice to have the ability to do smaller vmx changes on the fly.

Thanks, Peter. I trust your site. Downloaded the core with no problem. Will include the VMX Builder next build time. By the way, I like the work done on this version, even though I also have the latest from Ulli. Now I have two CDs - Big Moa and Little Moa......
