So I checked the permissions. The software hat permission for the Documents folder. So I tried to grant full disk access to it and... surprise... it worked. I could proceed further... At the end it crashed caused by other reasons. But his is not part of this thread.</P> Thu, 25 Nov 2021 20:51:16 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Fusion-Discussions/pc2mac-choose-folder-to-save-VM-quot-insufficient-permission-to/m-p/2879995#M176592 AarneAarebye 2021-11-25T20:51:16Z
