Re: vmtools doesn't appear to be installed on Linux host

Hi Wil,

Thanks for the reply and the info about tools on the host. Glad that my host installation is good!

It looks like clipboard sharing works between host/guest for Win 8.1 guest, but not NT4 guest (even though vmtools is installed there and working fine - for example, shutdown scripts are working perfectly). Note that for win 8.1 guest, it only works in console view of guest in Workstation GUI. VNC to guest doesn't work.

But clipboard sharing doesn't work when connected via UltraVNC 1.2.0.6 from another Windows Desktop (I have VNC enabled in VM settings).

And I just found this (in the workstation docs)

Silly me.
