Workstation 9.0.1 - Disabling product updates in preferences.ini with epoch #?

$

Hello All,

 

I've prepped a software package to handle an unattended installation of Workstation 9.0.1 for my organization but I have been running into a wall when it comes to preconfiguring the following preferences:

 

Check for product updates on startup.

Check for software components as needed.

Help improve VMware Workstation.

 

The preferences.ini file under \AppData\Roaming\VMware\ stores these attributes but the epoch # is different on every installation.  These are the attributes:

 

pref.dataCollectionEnabled.epoch = "3841"
pref.dataCollectionEnabled = "FALSE"
pref.autoSoftwareUpdatePermission.epoch = "3841"
pref.autoSoftwareUpdatePermission = "deny"
pref.componentDownloadPermission.epoch = ""
pref.componentDownloadPermission = "deny"

 

Is there any known way to preconfigure a catch-all for these attributes that will disable them without the need for a workstation-specific epoch #?  There is a tangential discussion located here (http://communities.vmware.com/thread/417098) but the solution did not seem to solve this problem for Workstation.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
