When I try to move a VM file from another computer I get the message "The item "Windows Vista" contains one or more items you do not have permission to read". If open the package, I see that I have permission to read and write on the .nvram, .vmdk and .vmsd files. On all .log files my name is however listed twice. Once with a single person icon saying Read & Write, and then again with a two-person icon saying Read Only. Does this have anything to do with it? It's not possible to change the two-person icon saying Read Only to Read & Write. Any suggestions?
OK, I managed to change the permissions on the VM on the other computer from that computer. It didn't work over the network.
After I managed to copy the VM over to my new computer, I saw that the permissions had changed again. Now it was read only again. After changing the permission on each individual file in the package to Read & Write, I now can't open the VM. I get an error message that says "The document "Windows Vista" could not be opened". Any ideas?
Permissions of the directory containing the files?
Ownership of the directory and files?
The VM is in a directory called "Virtual Machines". That directory, the VW itself and all the files in the VM Package has the following privileges under Sharing & Permissions:
MyHome (Me) - Read & Write
staff - Read only
everyone - Read only
I don't know how to check for ownership.
When I try to open the VM it says "The document "Windows Vista" could not be opened. It was created with Fusion 1.0, now I'm running 1.1.1.
Any ideas?
Does anyone know why I can't open my VM?
