Subject: [PATCH] docs: Add a note about removal of VMware Tools on Windows
We use VMware's recommended method for removal, but we know from
experience that this rarely works. The alternate method being
proposed involves making very invasive changes to the Registry and
filesystem, which are inappropriate for virt-v2v to do and highly
risky. Therefore simply document this, with notes for the virt-v2v
user if they want to try the risky method.
Fixes: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-51169
Thanks: Yan Vugenfirer

+=head3 Removing VMware Tools from Windows guests
+
+Virt-v2v attempts to remove VMware Tools. For Windows guests this is
+supposed to happen during the first boot after conversion.
+
+We use VMware's recommended uninstallation method as that is the
+safest choice. However our experience has shown that this method
+usually fails. If so, VMware Tools must be removed by some other
+method.
+
+One possible method is described here:

+You should carefully check this script since it makes very invasive
+changes to the Windows Registry and filesystem.
