How to install backtrack 5 through VMware?

HLRS

I have mounted the .iso file through virtual drive but there is no installer? I have Ubuntu through VMware too.. any help?

when you boot up the iso and get to the command line type "startx" which will boot you to the desktop. on the desktop is a icon to run the installer. let me know if that is too vague and you need more help.

You can also download and run BackTrack's pre-made VMware VM files. Select BackTrack 5 R2, GMONE, VMware on the BackTrack download page.

Also...another tid-bit that might be helpful. Once installed, you'll log in with the root user account (unlike most distros, the install process does not include you making an account). The default account is
Username: root
Password: toor
