Not sure that is applicable, or maybe I am misinterpreting something.
But the bottom line is that the official VMware Tools package from VMware should contain the linux.iso required by the SCV boot process?

you can do it afterwards as well, mount the vmware tools iso , go the maintenance console, choose option 2-> System Configuration,9 -> Install VMware Tools. but yes, you'll need the linux.iso
