"Default Host Application" inside VM to open URL in Host machine browser

[Alexxsw]

Hi,

Inside win7 VM I setup default app to open URLs as VMWare "Default Host Application", so it means that whenever I click a URL inside VM, it should be opened by browser on my Host machine.

However I am running into a problem that when I click on URL it shows error: "Make sure the virtual machine's configuration allows the guest to open host applications"

How does that vmware app works? what configuration should I check? any help appreciated!

Am I right that it is somehow connected to VMCI ?

VMCI Overview

as I see i have following settings with VM:

alx@sup ~$ grep vmci vmware/office/windows-7.vmx

vmci0.present = "TRUE"

vmci0.pciSlotNumber = "36"

vmci0.id = "-796039176"

alx@sup ~$ grep -o 'vmci.?*/>' vmware/office/windows-7.vmxf

<vmci version="9.5.10.0" installed="FALSE"/>
