It may be too late for this, but FWIW, for all the ripping I do on VMWare 
Server, I still have one system where this is in production.  I was able to 
look this up today.

You say you don't have vmware-cmd installed, but it's automatically installed 
with your vmware server installation, so unless you went browsing into the 
vmware directory after installing and then deleting files in there...  It's 
there.  And it works.  It's a perl script, but on windows there's a .bat 
wrapper to launch the perl script.

Here is an example of it working on my windows server:
"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMWare Server\vmware-cmd" 
"C:\VirtualMachines\MyGuest1\MyGuest1.vmx" start
