If you edit the virtual machine settings (via the Vmware console menus) I would think that it will rewrite the .vmx file. There's certainly no harm trying, you can change a fairly innocuous setting
What brought this to light was the fact that we couldn't open it in the console because the .vmx was missing!
(As you may or may not be aware, you can close the console after starting a VM and it will continue running.)
If there was something I could do within the VM which would cause a write to the .vmx that might work, though. Any suggestions?
The VM is running SME (www.contribs.org) which is a modified CentOS 4. I have access to it via SSH only.
