When I copy a file from guest A to guest B in the VMware Workstation 10.0.2 console, the workstation user interface crashes. My VM's continue to run in the background without a problem (nothing in their eventlogs and the VMware tools continue to run).
Host OS: Windows 8.1 Update
Guest OS: Windows Server 2012 R2 Update
What I've tried:
* Downgraded to 10.0.1
* Downgraded host OS to Windows 8.1 RTM
* Downgraded guest OS to Windows Server 2012 R2 RTM
* Downgraded host OS to Windows 8.1 RTM with OOB drivers
After each try I wiped my machine, reinstalled VMware Workstation and created the VM's from scratch. In VMware Player I experience the same issue.
Attached you'll find the necessary logs and the output of my favorite Windows Debugger tool. It clearly states that the problematic thread is busy copying information between guests within vmwarewui.dll
vmwarewui!wui::dnd::CopyPaste::GetLocalFileContents+110
vmwarewui!wui::dnd::CopyPaste::UpdateRemoteClipboard+cc
In the hostd log you also see a reference to the failed copy:
[01652 warning 'Proxy Req 00020'] Error reading from client while waiting for header: class Vmacore::SystemException(An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host)
