I always thought that the VMware Tools Panel is part of the Control Panel in Windows. Because I removed the VMware Tray Icon I ran into the problem to start the Tools. There are no more VMware Tools in the Windows Control Panel. I checked various installations now and everywhere is the same. First I though this is something with the Server Beta but now I found it's missing even in ESX installations.
The cpl is also missing in the %systemroot%\system32 where it's supposed to be but it is only in the VMware Tools folder. Clicking this file brings the VMware panel.
Has anyone else noticed this or was there a change I missed? The help file tells that I am not wrong, though.
