I used Workstation Pro on Windows 7 to create a new VM. I need to share files on Windows. Following the instructions for enabling Shared Folders, I found the setting is completely disabled. Looking back over the document page, I read I must VM tools installed.
Finally got to the point of downloading VM Tools. Not sure what to grab, so I downloaded "VMware Tools for Windows, 64-bit in-guest installer" thinking a .exe is something I run on Windows.
I didn't get very far. The installer said it must be installed inside a Virtual Machine. I guess a VM running Windows.
I am not sure which download I should install. If they all them require running inside a VM, how do I get it into the VM without Shared Folders?
Thanks.
