I can drag a file from the Ubuntu 20.04 host (Files app) and drop it onto the desktop of the Windows 10 VM, but not the other way. When I try, I get this error message: " Error while copying. There was an error getting information about "the test file.txt" Error when getting information for file "/3H8UyO/the test file.txt": No such file or directory " (I have installed VMWare Tools and restarted not only Win10 but also the VM itself.) Can anyone help me please. (PS: Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V works perfectly: When using them in the Win10 VM they operate directly on my Ubuntu CopyQ clipboard manager!)
You are right. The Tools installed perfectly. And Win10 restarted. Thank you! Tomorrow I will start trying to send files etc. between the Win10 VM and the Ubuntu host system.
Are you sure about that? That field already contains a link to the ISO-file I used to create the Win10 VM: /mnt/4AF15A0435E762B4/Downloads Ubuntu/Win10_21H1_EnglishInternational_x64.iso It doesn't ...

You are right: VMWare Tools is NOT running. In the latest pop-up window, after restarting the VM, the new message is: "The VMWare Tools package is not running in this virtual machine. ... To install it, choose VM -> Install VMWare Tools... after the guest operating system starts." But that menu item is grey, so I cannot choose it. This is confusing... I have attached the message.

Thank you very much! Changing Display Resolution inside Windows 10 definitely helps! I am using: VMware® Workstation 16 Player - 16.1.2 build-17966106 I have attached a screen shot of the latest message, which says: "Software updates All updates finished VMWare Tools for Windows Vista or later - version 11.2.6 - finished" Edition/Addition: The Win10 ISO file is brand new: Win10_21H1_EnglishInternational_x64.iso

Hi! I agree that it's strange that VMWare Workstation wants to update VMWare Tools simultaneously to creating the Win10 VM. Now it's created. I started Windows Update. After installing a bunch of updates I had to press a "Restart"-button. Then Win10 restarted and seems to work fine, although it will only fill about half of my actual screen size. Do you know how to improve that? I could even do a VMWare Tools "Check for updates", which said "Up to date".

Hi Thank you for your reply! I DO have a physical DVD drive. But VMWare is installing Windows 10 directly from an .ISO-file. Do I need to so something with that file? Or do I need to 'move' VMWare Tools to a virtual DVD drive in some way?

Hi! I am trying to create a Windows 10 Pro virtual machine on an Ubuntu 20.04 Lenovo Thinkpad laptop. It was originally bought with Windows 10 Pro and according to https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-L-R-and-SL-series-Laptops/Corrupt-OS-on-IdeaFlex-5/m-p/5094994?page=1 the Windows Product Key is encoded in the motherboard. The VM is created and boots Windows 10, Then after some time I get the error "Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\.....\upgrader.exe'. Behind that pop-up window I can see a Terminal window with the following message: "Installing VMWare Tools ... Please wait a few seconds. The system cannot find the drive specified.." So what do I do?
