Issue the following command to install VMware together with the contrib:

−

yum install /path/to/~~VMWare~~-server.rpm smeserver-vmware-server --enablerepo=smecontribs

yum install /path/to/VMware-server.rpm smeserver-vmware-server --enablerepo=smecontribs

The above should also install xinetd for dependency.

<br />Installing VMware Server 2 without the contrib will likely result in failure to start VMware after a reboot.

<br />If that is your case you probably have to reinstall the whole server before attempting to install VMware again.
