Connecting to VM Admin shares

[KeithDib]

Hi all

I have a question that could be a very easy one for someone but I cannot find the answer..

I have VMWare installed on an XP host, I am running an XP VM on this..

I can connect fine from the VM to the host C:$ etc [I dont want to map a drive]

I cannot connect from the host to the VM however, If I try the host defaults to the "[vm name]\User" account and I cannot connect. I need to be able to connect to the Vm's Administrator account for Msi Packaging

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Keith

Hi André

Thanks for that, worked fine once I had mapped a drive from the Host to the VM

Thank again
