VMX Builder

VMX Builder is an application for creating vmx (VMware virtual machine configuration) and vmdk (VMware virtual hard disk) files.

Caution! Physical disk creation is in Beta test!
Note: ESX Server information in here for completeness only. This is very early information, and is not fully implemented!! Please send any bug reports to my email, with Subject "VMX Builder Bugs". Translators needed... if you download the string files, in the zip is an Excel spreadsheet "Strings.xls". The 2nd sheet has the translation tables, and the 1st sheet is a reference to where the strings are shown. Add your translations for any new language in new columns to the right on Sheet 2, and email me the updated spreadsheet. Thanks
