I actually had a version of this problem earlier with Fusion 5, but it hasn't gone with away with the Fusion 6 upgrade and seems to be getting worse.
While I can run Fusion 6 in a Win7 VM, use a browser, find shared files etc I cannot:
- Install new software (if I try to run the exe file from a folder shared with the Mac I get a message that as a Guest I don't have the necessary Admin rights; if I try to run the exe file from- say- the Downloads folder in Windows the install starts but then hangs)
- Run certain software previously installed (eg MS Visio), which just closes when I try to open a file within it
- See my shared desktop
- Access files on an external hard drive without being told that as a Guest I don't have the necessary Admin rights (even though I can then access the files)
There's clearly some kind of permissions problem in Windows or Fusion. In Win7 I only have a single account (which is an Administrator account), so I'm not logging in to Windows as a Guest. In Fusion I cannot see what control I can tweak to change permissions settings beyond the standard settings to share file, desktop etc (which are all enabled).
Would be grateful for enlightenment on what I'm not doing correctly. Thanks in advance.
