Thanks for the package! I need to run MSSQL for work, so it has been a big problem for me since I upgraded to 7.10 last week.

I was able to get it installed (I think), but I get an error during config (below). Apt-get fails, but I am still able to run vmware alright. The only issue is, when I try to install something else with apt-get, it tries again to configure vmware, which is very annoying (because it always fails). It fails on bridged networking.
