• Do not see the shared folders under one of the guests of WinXP

  I host with Windows XP 32-bit and VMPlayer 3.1.2.

  There are two comments the two Windows XP machines with the same version of VMWARE tools. All guests parameters are the same. But we shared the host and second file access does not work.

  Any ideas?

  TIA,

  Have you already tried to uninstall/reinstall the VMware tools?

  Maybe the HFGS (VMware Shared Folders) service is not installed properly. What do you see in the registry under

  'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order '?

• Cannot map the shared folders to the drive letter in WIndows prompt

  I seem to have a problem with the shared folders in a Windows on Fusion 6 client. Turning on shared folders in the VM options creates the "VMWare shared folders" shortcut on my desktop, and I can open and view files shared host, as expected. However, it is not map the shared folders to drive Z: in Windows because I expect, and I can not also go to shared folders using the path "\\vmware-host\Shared records" (for example, only by typing in the address bar in a window of the Explorer). It is a problem, because I need a path that I can put scripts to refer to things in the shared folder.

  Also, if I access network in Explorer, vmware-host is there but trying to open it gives me the error "Windows cannot access \\vmware-host."

  I'm running 6 Fusion on OS X Mavericks, and the guest is Windows 8.1. My .vmx file contains the following lines which I think are related to shared folders:

  insulation. Tools.hgfs.Disable = "FALSE".

  hgfs.mapRootShare = 'TRUE '.

  hgfs.linkRootShare = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.present = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.enabled = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.readAccess = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.writeAccess = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.hostPath = ' / users/buck/projects.

  sharedFolder0.guestName = 'projects '.

  sharedFolder0.expiration = "never".

  sharedFolder.maxNum = '1 '.

  For me, the weirdest thing is that I can get for shared folders by using the shortcut on the desktop, but by typing the exact path and the shortcut points to in an Explorer window does not work!

  If anyone has any suggestions on how I could get this works normally, I would be very grateful - thank you!

  I think you should activate windows network discovery if you want to browse vmware host in the network.

  You can enable this by

  Control Panel-> network and Internet-> Network and Sharing Center-> the advanced sharing settings

• How to activate the shared folders in the VMware tools

  I'm running a Windows 2003 Server EE guest x 64 OS in a virtual machine hosted by ESXi 3.5 u4 build 199239. VMware tools have been updated to the latest version for this build ESX.  In the VMware Tools Properties GUI the shared folders tab says "shared folders are currently disabled on the host computer.  Please see VMware documentation to find out how to activate it. "I searched all the VMware Documentation and have not found the answer to this question.

  Also, when folders are enabled it is my understanding that an addition is made to the guest OS network providers.  What is the impact of the network provider of shared folders moving further towards the bottom of the list of purchase orders (network connections, advanced, advanced settings, purchase order).

  As far as I KNOW, this is not possible if it running ESX (i)

  KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1317 tire

  The shared folders functionality is not supported by the ESX Server or GSX server, but is enabled when you install VMware Tools with the complete option. The feature is not enabled when you install VMware Tools with the typical option in respect of these products.

• How to reset the shared folders, showing network after modified/deleted folder

  System: Windows Vista 64-bit

  Problem: after files moved or modified, they persist in network folder, for example:\\my-pc\

  It seems that their ghosts never die. Even when I put the file back to what was before, they are not accessible, and read error message, "you might not have permission to use this network resource...". »

  They are listed under ' computer management > shared folders > actions ", but I can't delete them or change them.

  Why there is no easy way I can change the shared folders?

  answer: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  The only way I found to clean these entries is to use Regedit to edit the registry.  First the standard warning from Microsoft:

• How to force the shared folders to work?

  I have Windows 10 host and guest OS Windows 7. I have Visual Studio is installed on Windows 7 comments, and I'm trying to compile code that is located in the shared folders that I go up as network drive.

  When I try to do this with Visual Studio 2013, library file contains all zeros (binary, I see it in hex editor). It's a bug of folder for sure, because otherwise (no folders) compilations is OK.

  Is it possible to fix this bug and force the shared folders to do what they promised, i. e. to share files between the host and the guest operating system and do not write all zeros in the output file?

  Hello

  Not really, these types of problems hit the option files shared for many years.

  Workshares of files for simple file sharing, but if you want to use as the project file in Visual Studio, then what you see is not really surprising.

  Yes you can troubleshoot it and spent a lot of time trying to make it work. Which may or may not work.

  However, the General recommendation is to use industry standard file sharing shares - for example native Windows - instead of construction option of share if you want to use for this type of scenario.

  A common alternative is to develop locally within the virtual machine and share it with other computers using source control systems.

• Can't see the shared folders in WIn 8.1 comments.

  I'm using VMware Workstation 10.0.1 and I earn 8.1 as my host OS.

  When I set up a VM 7 Win, shared folders are working as expected, but with a VM 8.1 Win I can't find folders in Explorer.  Also, I tried to access it via \\vmware-host and \\.host without success.

  How can I see the shared folders in a Win 81 guest VM?

  Thank you!

  Hey Psi,

  I had a similar problem. Worked fine on Windows 8.0, but after modernized this VM for Windows 8.1, the shared folder feature has stopped working. Only after the reinstallation of VMware Tools, it worked again.

  Please note that a 'fix' on VMware Tools installation does not provide it, only a complete uninstall/reboot/install/reboot sequence makes this feature back to life for me.

  Hope this helps,

  Other people who have had this problem report that choose NOT to do the updates during installation allows you to install finish. They are then installing updates once the installation is complete. You see an option to install no updatesa as part of the installation? Barb winter

• "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer" error during the upgrade of Vista in Windows XP

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1505, that is running Windows XP Media Center Sp3. I'm doing a place in upgrading to Vista since the disks to upgrade Dell... Everything's fine until the 'Expansion of the files' [27%], then the installation fails with this message: "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot continue. Any changes made to your computer during the upgrade". I did a google search for a fix that involves changing a value in the registry in the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E976-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} for example change the value to PartMgr Upperfilters. Unfortunately, this value was the default for my registry key changes could be made. Some other fixes involved the renaming of Upperfilter.bak, for Upperfilters unfortunately this .bak value does not exist in my registry.

  I tried to boot from the disk of Vista and changing the msconfig for a selective startup but without result.

  In addition, the stall even appears at a similar point when you try to upgrade to Windows 7. Is it because of the presence of hidden Media Direct and Dell restore partitions? Compatibility Assistant programs for the two operating systems found nothing significant. Anti virus has been disabled during the installation procedure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello

  Not quite, but pretty close. Media Direct could not lock the boot sector. It must be a BIOS lock or a mechanism of protection provided by your antivirus software.  Given that, I would check your program settings then for all that prevents changes to the boot sector. You may find more easy just uninstall it and reinstall it after the upgrade. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org
