Just Starting

This is my first time wit Virtual machines. I downloaded VMPlayer 12 to try a machine on my home computer. I started with a new W7 64 bit install on my laptop and copied my VM machine that I had initially created  from my main W7 64 bit home desktop. Everything seemed to go fine till I tried to load some programs. First I loaded an 2013 version of Office that I had spare. Instead of going to the virtual machine it installed on the laptop
OS Same thing happened for three other programs I loaded. I was in the virtual machine when I tried to load. Any ideas why this is happening. Everything I read says I was doing this correctly. Do I need Workstation instead of player to do this. Any help pointing me in the correct direction would be appreciated. I would like to create a master machine with all my ase software. That way when the kids trash it I can just copy it in again and let them go at it .

Thanks
