I've set up a number of snapshots in VMWare Workstation, and in order to deliver a Workshop-style training course, I want to distribute VM Player on the client machines and get them to select from the generated snapshot tree.
I'm positive this could be done in older version of VMWare Player – or am I just imagining it?
Are there any changes I could make to the VMX file as a workaround?
Any help would be appreciated,
Duncan

I'm pretty sure Player can not do anything with snapshots. If you need snapshots then you can install VMWare Server which is also free though sometimes slightly less convenient then Player in some simple use cases.
VMWare Server only allows one snapshot per VM, so your mention of a "snapshot tree" makes me think that you are thinking about VMWare Workstation, rather than an older version of VMWare Player, as this does support multiple snapshots per VM (as do the paid for server products).
