New vmware-mount.exe version available?

Due to fixes in Workstation 6.5.2:

Only the first attempt succeeds when mapping original and cloned virtual disk files to drive letters

+On Windows hosts, if you make a linked or full clone of a virtual

machine and then try to map the virtual disk files of the original

virtual machine as well as of the clone to drive letters on the host,

only the first mapping succeeds. Because both disks have the same

signature, you can map only one of the disks at a time. This issue is

resolved in this release.+

<!Dev Bug 343190 Doc Bug 344067)>

we are now able to mount cloned drives. JUHU :smileygrin:

But is there a new version of the vmware-mount.exe available now? We are using the vmware-mount.exe to automate optimization processes on our vms. Or is there any other way to mount .vmdks with the new fix without using the workstation gui ?

Ciao ciao
