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=smedev

The above should also install xinetd for dependency.
=====SME8=====
The contrib introduces a dependency that cannot be resolved. This dependency is not necessary for sme8.
yum install xinetd
For SME8 32bit:
yum localinstall <path-to--rpm-file>/VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.rpm
For SME8 64bit:
yum localinstall <path-to--rpm-file>/VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64.rpm
configure vmware:
vmware-config.pl
and set vmware to autostart and reboot:
ln -s ../init.d/vmware /etc/rc7.d/S19vmware
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Watch the console for a correct start of vmware services. Features like maintenance from external networks, vmware configuration db commands described in the contrib [[vmware]] do not work. Use
/etc/init.d/vmware start|stop|restart
to manage the vmware services. If you do not want vmware server to autostart, remove the symbolic link .
