vmware-vdiskmanager: any way to install without installing VMware Server?

[twocell]

I've currently installed VMware Server on a laptop, so I copy the disk image to a USB drive, convert the image, then copy the new image to the Proxmox VE server.

I tried just pulling the .exe off my install, but it does depend on some libraries, so it's not too portable.

VMware Server has a linux version, does anyone run vmware-vdiskmanager on the Proxmox server itself?

consult vmware docu.

and as the OP asked "does anyone run vmware-vdiskmanager on the Proxmox server itself?"

Is it safe to do this ?
is it safe to install vmware-server in order to get vdiskmanager onto the proxmox box ?

I guess my alternative is to create a vm for this task.
