Vmware upgrade problems

I just upgraded to Vmware Fusion 2.0.2 from Vmware Fusion 1.0 and and having some access rights issues. I am running Mac OS 10 and am sharing VMware between two desktops. I have it working in one desktop (admin Permissions) but cannot access and run the virtual machine in the other users desktop (standard user permissions). I had some issues with the older version but was able to get it ti work. This time I am not having any luck. I have all users shared and have the VM file in the shared directory. I have group permissions set to everyone on the VMware .app and the Vmware machine library file as well.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Much Thanks,

Ferrell

Did you check all the files in the .vmwarevm package? See : Sharing a Virtual Machine Between Users

You don't need to change permissions on VMware Fusion.app; in fact this is probably a bad idea.
