v6.0.0 Exception 0xc0000005 (access violation) when connecting physical DVD unit.

[xerces8]

Hi!

Running Ubuntu in a VM with VMware Player 6.0.0 build-1295980 on Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, I changed the virtual DVD unit type to "Use physical drive E;" and enabled the "Connected" option.

Right then VMWare crashed with Exception 0xc0000005 (access violation) has occurred.

I'll attach the ZIP file collected by the vm-support.vbs script.

Regards,

David

I did the checks and everything is normal.

I reverted to version 5.0.2.
