VMWARE WORKSTATION ENHANCED KEYBOARD DRIVER PURPOSE INSTALL
I recommend not to install it - if you ever come across a function that requires this driver you can install it later. So can anybody clarify why I need this driver, and what kind of malfunction I will experience if I dont install it Thx, Armin. This may be caused by the fact that I hardly ever use any Enhanced functionality inside a VM, but I notice that many special keys like volume controls, Windows key, Alt-Gr key work regardless of whether I install teh Enhanced Keboard driver or not. Well, I have a foreign language keyboard (German), in fact I have plenty of them (very basic ones as well as Multimedia keyboards with tons of special keys, mainly made by Microsoft and Logitech, but also other brands), and I have never noticed any difference between hosts with and without the Enhanced Keyboard Driver. The docs do say, thet the driver does somehow do something good for foreign language keyboards. So if the driver doesnt do any good for me, Id rather not install it. This does sound a little scary to me, knowing Microsofts habit to change Windows internals at will and not caring too much wether competing products are broken or not.

The driver is installed in my host, and does hook into the standard keyboard driver chain.
