That's something I've wanted to do for some time and this finally spured me to action. So here's a script that will do essentially the same thing but with VMware Workstation.
Cool! I think I'll borrow some of your nice extra options. I'm moving towards VirtualBox now, it's FOSS, as good as VMware for my purposes and less painful to keep running on a bleeding edge Linux distro.
I achieved much the same thing by putting a wget script in the Auto-startup folder of Windows. Then I copy in this vmware windows virtual machine and start it. Then Windows itself downloads winetest and upon completion, does a shutdown -h now. (Via cygwin.) I often find cygwin a relief when working with Windows.
Just FYI.
