So I can't install vmtools on Windows 7

[Shivetya]

and it has been suggested I reload Windows 7, do I need to first nuke it via Bootcamp and then put it back with Apple's process or can I short cut this? I just need to reload the Windows directory from what I can tell.

FWIW, whenever I try to install VMWare tools (or even Parallels) I get the same error which is

Error 1935. An error occured during the installation of assembly.

OK, I solved this one.

Apparently the ATI drivers I downloaded and installed back in January did not properly install. They worked but they left some things undone. Installing a newer copy of the ATI drivers direct from their site cleaned up this problem.

How did I know that this was actually going to work? During the install of the drivers they name some of the items they are installing, which happened to be a whole lot of .NET items.

Go figure
