Where do I find the VMware Network Editor in VMware Player on Windows?

Question

Starting with VMware Player 3.0, the installer does not create a shortcut to the Network editor anymore. How do I get it back?

Manually extract the .exe out of the installer package.

name-of-vmware-installer.exe /e .\extract
In the extracted files, find network.cab
Open or extract network.cab and copy vmnetcfg.exe into your VMware install directory.

Create a windows shortcut that runs with administrator privileges. Set the following as the shortcut target:

C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Player\vmnetui.dll" VMNetUI_ShowStandalone
