This patch updates the tools-light VIB to resolve the following issues:

PR 751508: Windows Vista and later versions of Windows do not recommend allowing services to be interactive; however, VMware Tools Service is installed as an interactive service. This causes Windows Vista and later versions of Windows to log the following error to Event Logs after installation of VMware Tools:

The VMware Tools Service service is marked as an interactive service. However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services. This service may not function properly.
PR 820150: This fix includes an update for VMware Tools to add pre-built modules (PBMs) for SLE 11 SP2.
