Shared folders and drive Z

I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 on my Macbook, the latest version of Fusion 3.  A close I would say file sharing does not work.  When I look at the computer ads I see "(shared folders).
(VMware-hôte) (z) "and it is X - ed out with a big red X.  Save one of my applications in a shared folder and now it won't work.  It is said that he cannot access the shared folder.  Also, when I ask to install VMware Tools, it fails at some point again due to the inability to access shared folders.

Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

1. turn off the shared folders

2 uninstall, not fix, VMware Tools

3. open shared folders

4. install VMware Tools

    How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

    After I enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" in 'Advanced settings', I can't yet see in the folder but I know there is a file in this program of WinRAR folder form as pictured below where I opened the case both at the same time.

    Hope you can help in this case...

    It would be possible that the file is marked as a system folder (which is just a check box in properties such as the hidden check box). So in your folder options, uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files" and see if it will be visible.

    Or another thing to try: remonter back a level, hold down SHIFT while you right-click the complete file and choose "Open command window here", then type DIR to see if the file is listed.

  • Shared folders and Windows November 10 update

    Since "redevelopment" of the update of Windows 10 November, my shared folders do not work.  I had hoped that upgrading 8.1 Fusion is going to fix it but it didn't.

    Basically I enable shared folders, such as Documents and downloads, I can access it from the link on the desktop.  However, I don't get my y and Z: drives I was doing.  In addition, at the opening of the Explorer there suddenly from 30 to 60 seconds while he was apparently trying to find these discs.

    If I turn off sharing, the Explorer is fast and never crashes.

    I tried unisntalling/reinstalling VMWare tools, but it makes no difference.  I have to leave shared folders disabled to have a usable virtual machine.

    Any thoughts on how to fix this so that it works as it did before the November update?

    Hello

    Strange uninstall - reboot - install VMware Tools has been working flawlessly down here to solve a similar problem.

    There are a few things you can try.

    First check the registry that you do not:

    All you have to do is to change the registry

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order
    
    Name: ProviderOrder
    
    Type: REG_SZ
    
    Data: "RDPNP, LanmanWorkstation,webclient"
    

    He should have "vmhgfs" for the first option:

    Data: "vmhgfs,RDPNP, LanmanWorkstation,webclient"
    

    Second, try to re-create the shares.

    Remove them, turn off sharing, close the dialog box for sharing and then re - open the dialog box and try sharing once more and add the old shares in return.

    Yet another thing you can do is to disable the folder change event notification.

    The side effect of this is you will need to click Refresh in Windows Explorer to see a change, he could stop the slowness of your Explorer.

    While I use it myself I do not recommend for most users.

    isolation.tools.hgfs.notify.enable = "FALSE"
    

    See also: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2011360

    Finally, I also see the hosts host file sharing slow down when there was a ton of files and anti-virus analysis actively sharing files.

    At least disable the scan compressed files.

  • Working in a virtual machine of shared folders and not another...

    Hi, I'm new to the community but have worked with VMWare Workstation for about 9 months now. I have a set of 5 VM that I run on a regular basis, and I had successfully implemented the shared folders in each VM to a central folder on my C: drive host. I now have new versions of several of the virtual machine and I am trying to configure access to the same shared folder, but it will not be displayed.

    After you set up the information in shared folders in the virtual machine settings, I go into the virtual machine on my computer and expect to see under readers network, "Shared Folders on .host '. Who does not appear and when I try to map a network drive to //.host/Shared files /, it can't find the network.

    I compared the parameters between a virtual machine that has the Shared folder working and one who does not work, and I can't seem to find any differences.

    Here are some of my system details, if it helps:

    VMWare Workstation Version 6.5.2 build 156735

    Host of OS = Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)

    VM OS = Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)

    I've updated the VMWare tools in the virtual machine

    I have ideas of what I can try to get this working. Thank you!

    Try to upgrade the virtual hardware version 7 - maybe it does.

    Why don't you use the entries for the disks in cluster? -of course, you know that they are not stable in WS 6.5

  • vmrun shared folders and

    I tried almost all of the combinations that I can get and the web search (and especially these forums) for a response, so I apologize if that's the answer somewhere.

    I'm trying to use virtual machines to run my compilations automated nightly and other compilations. of course, I have to use vmrun. What I can't seem to make it work using a shared folder to access the source files. I know that is the problem and not the mechanic that I use to start the compilations because I can copy the source to the virtual computer and use the same procedure and it works.

    Here is the proposed process:

    vmrun start < vmx > nogui

    Sleep.bat 240 (batch file for ping n %1, etc., to expect that the VM comes well enough)

    echo net use Y: '\\vmware-host\Shared Folders\job_share' /p:no > C:\run\run_net.bat

    vmrun t ws - gu < user > gp - < pass > copyFileFromHostToGuest < vmx > C:\run\run_net.bat C:\run\run_net.bat

    vmrun t ws - gu < user > gp - < pass > runProgramInGuest < vmx > C:\run\run_net.bat

    I tried to use enableSharedFolders and addSharedFolder. I read somewhere that you need to map the folder "net use". I tried to run with - interactive and - activeWindow, once again read somewhere that - interactive uses different processes to enable shared folders that are already enabled in the VMX, but when I use - interactive to run Ant batch file, it the error that the user must be connected in interactive mode.

    Technically, I could copy the sources on the virtual computer files before compiling and it works. but there are many, many source files it is not practical. I don't know there is something I'm missing, but I am at a loss as to what. Help, please.

    There is no need to map the shared folder. the UNC path is available after you have enabled the shared folder for the customer.

    -interactive and - activewindow requires a user connects. You use Autologon to have a connection to the virtual machine? Oterwise, leave the settings

  • 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!

    Hi Buck,

    Welcome to the community.

    Have you tried to re - install vmware tools in your windows 8.1?

    ARBuck wrote:

    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

    Hello

    I'm the developer for the VMware Shared Folders feature.

    The problem is caused by the Microsoft updates, destroying the registry settings.

    After the upgrade, you just need to check and restore the registry setting below and everything should start working (for folders).

    (No need to uninstall and install again, as this will also restore the registry, but takes significantly more time.)

    All you have to do is to change the registry

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order

    Name: ProviderOrder

    Type: REG_SZ

    Data: "RDPNP, LanmanWorkstation, webclient.

    Change it to:

    Data: "vmhgfs, RDPNP, LanmanWorkstation, webclient.

    Exit the registry application

    Then you'll then readers of shared folders and the UNC paths accessible once more. No need to reboot or log off. No need to uninstall and reinstall the tools.

    It has also been noted in wire Re: support Windows 10

    Hope this saves time to users.

    Also when I was at Microsoft earlier this year test Win 10 and shared folders, I and others (for redirectors) says the guys from the migration of this question and they promised it would be fixed.

  • How to enable shared folders on VMWare Tools under ESX4

    On a windows server is running on a host ESX 4, VMWare Tools reports that the shared folders are currently disabled on the host.

    How enable and use it?

    Hello

    (VMware Shared Folders) vmhgfs driver will not work with ESX or ESXi, it is only for the workstation, Fusion, a player of nd. I would put in a virtual firewall that denies all access and dev environment, until you're ready to share data.

    You can then open a port on the firewall and have a system to capture these data via the port. The alternative is to use something like a Keyspan USB hub IP and write data on a USB key, and then physically move to the side of the "production" of the House.

    In general I find instead of much easier virtual firewall... VMsafe even won't work here.

  • Sharing folders windows 7 with a windows xp computer

    I have a window xp computer I am sharing folders with a Windows 7.  How can I do for doiing that?

  • Home network not working not not because of 'ComputerName' not in the list of shared folders.

    My simple home network of 2 PCs with XP, SP3 and a Netgear WNDR3700 router was working fine. I changed ISP and now cannot get the home network to the top. Run the home networking on every PC wizard implements the internal IP of 192.168.1.1 for the router and 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 for 2 PCs. Shared folders and files appear to be configured correctly and successfully, I can ping the router and the other PC from each PC. After the Microsoft troubleshooting procedure, everything is good until I get to the stage where the "ComputerName" must appear in the list of shared folders in computer management, System Tools, shared folders, shares. All other devices and shared folders appear correctly on each PC. It is about the last step in troubleshooting, but I can't in front of her. What can I do? Or is the wrong thing? I'm almost to the point of thinking there is something in the registry (added with my ISP change process) that stop working. Help!

    In general, it is due to a firewall, in which case advice Jack will help.  In addition, there are a condition [rare] where the Type of a computer node becomes defined 'Counterparts' or 'P Pei' that will stop the communications between computers.  Bring up a command prompt (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
    ipconfig/all
    If the 'Type of node' line presents itself as "Peer-Peer" or "Pp" or type "P", ("Broadcasting", "Mixed" and "Hybrids" are OK) then check out the following article:
