I have a remote shared Windows 7 VM (Windows 10 host, VMware workstation pro 12.1) that I have connected to with VMware workstation pro 12.0 from a Windows 7 machine.
How do I make drag and drop support work for this instance? When I run the VM locally I can drag and drop into it without issue. I have tried from another Windows 10 machine with the same issue.
Your support link doesn't say it can't be done. I have enabled drag and drop support using a VMware VM and I used Workstation at the time. – Ramhound – 2017-03-31T11:48:21.723
@Ramhound "Features that you cannot use with remote virtual machines..." does say that it cannot be done. (That said, I believe that are some configuration options that supposedly allow copy/paste to work with remote VMs, but 1. I have never been able to get them to work; 2. Copy/paste is separate from drag-and-drop, and I have never heard of remote drag-and-drop working.) – jamesdlin – 2017-03-31T13:06:45.690
I must have been blind when I first looked at the link. – Ramhound – 2017-03-31T20:30:03.453
I wonder what the technical reason behind it not working is. Surely this is solvable... if only it was open source. – rolls – 2017-04-04T00:01:46.670
