Silent Install of VS Tools

In Windows XP/2003, you can automatically install VS Tools in a few simple steps:

1. Open up a command prompt (Start > Run > type cmd)

2. Drag-and-drop the VSTools-4.x.x.x-xx.msi icon into the command prompt window to automatically enter the VSTools-4.x.x.x-xx.msi path (or manually enter this information).

3. Type " /qn" after the VSTools-4.x.x.x-xx.msi path (that is a blank space followed by /qn) and press enter.

4. Go to your Virtualization Manager and perform a Hard Reset on the virtual server. Open the VS Configuration window and check the "VS Tools Installed" box. Click OK.

That's it -- VS Tools is now installed!
