I have two major problems trying to use the Browser Appliance: 1) The major problem is me! The last time I worked with a command line system was PC DOS in the mid 80's. Therefore, I have some idea of using a command line, but absolutely no idea how to proceed with the Browser Applicance. 2) I can't copy/move files from the Appliance to Windows 7. My host system is Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I have installed VM Player and Browser Applance 8.0 (Browser-Appliance-8.0.7z) and have no problems using FireFox for browsing and using gmail. However, after downloading an attachment from gmail, I can't get it out to my Win 7 host. I tried Virtual Machine | Enter Unity but I get the error message "The virtual machine cannot enter Unity mode because: - Unity is supported on Workstation 6 or later virtual machines only." I tried "VMware Tools installation" but I don't know enough to follow the instructions at the bottom: "Mount the virtual CD drive in the guest, launch a Terminal, and use tar to uncompress the installer. Then, execute vmware-install.pl to install VMware Tools." I have a DVD icon on the desktop titled "VMware Tools" that has two files: "manifest.txt" and "VMwareTools-8.8.1-528969.tar.gz" At this point I am totally lost. Sorry for being so ignorant. I would do more research, but I don't even know where to start. I am curious about the message " ..... support on Workstation 6 or later ...........". Since the download is dated Nov 10, 2011 I thought I would be relatively current. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Bob
