Linux unable to open VMs

[kylegoodwin]

Installed VMWare Workstation on a fresh Linux PC but am unable to open any VMs. I am able to create VMs as can be seen by the 'Windows 7 x64' folder on the desktop. When I click 'Open a Virtual Machine' I get an open file dialog and can select a file but nothing happens.

Anyone have any solutions or suggestions?

Edit: Forgot to mention I have a SSD full of VMs that work on my Windows PC but not on the Linux PC.

Also, I just clicked on the 'Workstation' button at the top not realizing there are two forums for Pro and Player. Could someone move this for me?

Do you have permission to access the VM data (VM install location, you may find info from help -> VMware Workstation Pro)? you may check the read, write and execute permission of the VM folder.

Tracy,

Thanks for the idea. Permissions are not the issue.

Unfortuntely the help documentation is not actually any help for this issue as it assumes there are VMs present in the library.

Any other ideas?
