The company I work for uses VMs that we copy back and forth, when a new one is created the guy who creates them always has the path to his personal home directory set as a shared folder. I tried to change it to %HOMEPATH%, but VMware Workstation 8.0 complains that this is an invalid path.
Is there a way to use a global variable that will point at the home directory of whoever is logged in? We're using Windows 7
Hello,
Welcome to Workstation Community!
Sorry, for the paths which will be saved in configuration file (e.g. *.vmx file), relative path and environment variables on Windows are not supported... Could you use a folder in a common place of host as shared folder?

Shawn

Unfortunately, no such a solution wouldn't work in this instance. While I'm disappointed that such a bug would exist in what is otherwise a powerful and modern software package, at least I have a definitive answer. Thanks!
