Great -- I'll try to help you out. Unfortunately I can't recall
whether I created the symbolic links that are required for the Windows
staff client (there's a version mismatch, which we can work around
with a symbolic link).

No, those are already part of the VMWare image. The idea was to make
it as easy to test as possible, so you should be able to start up the
VMWare image and try it out right away.

I tried to put the necessary steps into the README in the root
directory of the VMWare image, but if you're missing information, let
me know via the list and I'll try to beef it up in the next
incarnation of the image.

I've also put a copy of the README into the Evergreen wiki at
