VMware Player - Running as a Service

Is it possible to run VMware player as a Windows Service so that a user does not have to be logged in to have the player running?

Vmware Server is the correct tool for running a VM in the background, not Vmware Player.

Sorry for the late responce with this. I was trying to figure this out today. I came across this answer, figured I let SF know.

You can actually ...

• Add this to your VMX config file to set VMWare Player not show the UI:

  msg.noOk = "TRUE"

• Get instsrv.exe from a Windows Server Resource Kit to create your own service

• On Startup have a batch file call the service you just made
