Unable install workstation-11 vmware-solaris-tools (start hgfs) on guest os: Solaris-11.2 (64bit) to share directory with host OS: windows-7 (64bit)

Hi,

I have successfully installed Solaris-11.2 (64bit) on VMWare workstation-11, but unable to install vmware-solaris-tools as this option is disabled. I tried in workstation-8, but no luck.

I am trying to share directory/drive between host os: Win-7 and guest os: Solaris-11 and I found hgfs is not active on Solaris. Any information and help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tusar

Thank you for posting! We are aware of the issue that hgfs is not working with Solaris and have internal bug to track it.

Thanks for the information. Can you shed some light on VMWare Tool for Solaris-11.2. Is it available to download from VMWare sites as I couldn't find VMWare Tool Installation option is enabled in VMWare Workstation-11.

Thanks,

Tusar
