Visual Studio 2012 Remote Kernel Debugging a Virtual Machine

I'm having some troubles setting up a debug environment with the following configuration:

Host computer - Physical, Windows 7 x64

Target computer - Virtual (Vmware), Windows 7 x64 (Running on Host computer)

I want to be able to develop a kernel mode driver, deploy and debug it in my VM.

Visual Studio is giving me a hard time, and provisioning the VM fails to work.

How can I successfully deploy and debug a driver in a VM ?

I managed to solve the problem by myself. I wrote an article about the solution here.

To connect to a VMware target on the same machine, I simply used a serial cable to connect to each "half". My serial cables have USB at each end. So I just connect the ends to separate USB ports on my computer.
