If you get a .bundle file which you can\’t extract in version 6.5, just use 6.0.5.. it should have .tar.gz

on windows, you can also get them if you download the free VMWare converter and install that, they store them in a folder called “vmtools”

To elaborate on step 4.:

Extract the files contained in windows.iso, copy them to the windows virtual machine and use the installer to install VMTools.
