In Adobe Flash Player versions newer than 32.0.0.344 they added a "Timebomb" for the EOL.
the player would refuse to run any custom flash content after 12/01/2021,
instead it would just show this
So knowing this, Lets crack it!
I acturally started looking into this before the 12/01/2021 hit, but only recently did i acturally discover a way to bypass the killswitch
(also- im aware this is not the only way to do this, i might not have been first, but i still did do it)
This is a cheat sheet for how to perform various actions to ZSH, which can be tricky to find on the web as the syntax is not intuitive and it is generally not very well-documented.

While VMware Tools 11.0.6 is technically the last version of VMware Tools that is compatible with Vista, all versions of VMware Tools starting from 11.0.0 actually ship with a broken GPU driver that has severe Aero performance issues, completely broken/missing OpenGL acceleration support, and will cause WinSAT to hang forever.
To fix this, we'll have to install VMware Tools 11.0.6 and then manually downgrade the GPU driver to the last working version (8.16.1.24 built on 2019/02/05), which was shipped with VMware Tools 10.3.10.
