Will VMware Fusion 3.1.3 fix my woes?

Software

Initialization of the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll failed. The process is terminating abnormally.

If you haven't seen yet, VMware just updated Fusion to 3.1.3. I can't see amongst the list improvements any mention of fixes for VMware Tools for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 Workstation that I half-jokingly blogged about, but installing just in case.

My previous attempts to install the VMware Tools in NT 4.0 resulted in BSoDs immediently after rebooting, but for some reason on my forth attempt it generated the same error in a modal dialogue box immediently before restarting.

Still no word on my forum post on the topic either. Guess the adage applies… you get what you pay for. Hey wait, I did pay for this!
