Hi,
I already did. Guess I wasn't completely clear.
A .tar file is like a zip file, so you have to unpack it.
For that use the 7zip program I linked to.
Once you have the plain .exe from the .tar file. You run it, this will create a .iso file.
I can't remember if it puts the .iso already in the VMware Player folder or not.
If it does, then you can just use the "install vmware tools" option in the menu.
If it does not, then you have to search your disk for the .iso file it created and attach it via the cdrom to the VM in your Windows 98.
