Im trying to get the VMware version number from inside the
virtualization, ie. im running win2k advanced server from inside VMware
and trying to gather machine info(Vendor, version etc..)
i could get the vmware guid and manufacturer from wmi using
win32_computersystemproduct,
but the version out there says 'none'
is there any other way of finding that out...
registry doesnt help cause im running from an OS inside VMware where
its not installed...hehehe...

please help...

Did you not get any assistance from the VMWare newsgroup(s), then...?

Er right...in which case, I'd say that getting the VMWare version is
probably the least of your problems...

Then contact VMWare themselves.  What else can you do?
