Is there a way to copy files from VMWare client without the machine running?

Question

I updated to Mac OS-X 10.7.4, and the client stopped working.

I have dev files which I stupidly haven't backed up. Does someone know any way to restore the files on the client or to get into "safe mode" which maybe let me do that?

Here's a KB from VMware that explains how you can mount VM disks without actually powering on the VM: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1010989
