     * doesn't seem like a vmware problem. seems like your XP PRO has the OEMPREINSTALL set to YES. is this a custom XP install disk? check the WINNT.sif file in the i386 folder. Make sure the OEMPREINSTALL=no. I have built custom install before and if the OEMPREINSTALL is set to yes it will not copy new drivers into the INSTALL directory.
 * winnt.sifから「OemPreinstall=Yes」を取り除くことで解決する。
