Mount VMDK files with write access

Question

I am looking for a freeware solution to mount VMDK files on Windows.

Requirements:

I have already tried:

OSFMount but it does not provide write access
VMWare Workstation but it's a commercial product
VMWare Player but that is not gratis for commercial use
VirtualBox can use VMDK files but only inside a VM, not map it as a drive letter without a VM
WinMount but all download links return HTTP 404 (rev. 2015-06-24 13:07)
VMWare VDDK does not include the vmware-mount.exe as proposed on other websites

The article 7 Ways To Open Virtual Hard Disk Images For Read And Write Access has a (still working) link to the older version of VDDK SDK for Windows 5.1.4, which includes vmware-mount.exe.
