How can I remove the displaylink driver - vmware

I was stupid and tried to install the 7.0 drivers into a Windows 7 guest running under VMware. After that, the screen went black. I eventually rebooted and the Windows 7 startup hangs at the Windows startup page before getting to the login prompt.

If I boot in safe mode, I can login, but the Windows installation service doesn't run in safe mode, so I can't remove the DisplayLink driver pack.

I've started to randomly remove files (ones with a date from the time of the install of the displayLink package) from system32\drivers but the VM will still not boot.

Any idea how I can remove the package?
