  • Importing a Windows 7 XP Mode virtual machine fails if you install VMware Player in a directory path that contains non-ASCII characters.
  • In some instances, if you choose not to download VMware Tools automatically, the virtual machine becomes unresponsive when you install VMware Tools manually using VM > Install VMware Tools.
  • In some instances on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 hosts, when you create a virtual machine the Next button in the Select a Disk Type dialog box is disabled.
  • On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 guests, printers configured on the host do not appear in the guest.
