Do you have VMware Tools installed?

Please allow me to step in here. It is not my thread, but I am facing the same issue.

In the past I could drag and drop from host onto the desktop of the vm. It is not possible.

I checked VM in the toolbar - Install VM Tools is greyed out. Assume it is installed then?
(how to see if it is btw?)
