I’ve been trying to get my vmware tools updated on my work laptop since I reloaded the damned thing. The host is a laptop running craptastic Win 7. The first problem is that I can’t even get the file menu to display in the vmware application. I’ve searched the internet and have found craploads of articles on how to enable it in IE, and windowz explorer, but how do I get the file menu to display in other application?

I have no problem installing the tools from my Linux workstation. I just updated my Linux “Workstation” copy to 11.1.3. Guess I’ll test to see if installing the latest copy of tools there will be recognised on the windows host.

I have not had a chance to play with VMware under the ‘doze platform yet so I am afraid I cannot help you there.

I do plan to work with it in Linux after I finish reinstalling a couple of machines but it will be a Virtual ‘Doze running in Linux so just the opposite of what you are running.

Perhaps someone else can be of assistance.

Cheers!
