VMrun sharedfolder question

$

0

I am running VMware player 6.01 on a Linux host. The guest is Windows XP.

I also installed VMware VIX 1.13 so that I can use vmrun to control the guest.

 

I want to create a shared folder between the guest and host. The command is:

vmrun -T player -gu "Administrator" -gp "" addSharedFolder  /path_to_vmxfile C:\VM_shared_dir_name /path_to_dir_on_host

 

The command runs fine with no errors. However, I can't seem to locate this folder on the guest. If I re-run the same vmrun command, it complains "Error: Already exists", so obviously the folder is mounted somewhere, but I can't see to locate it on the Windows system. I also ran a search and there is no sign of it.

 

I can also remove the folder with the option "removeSharedFolder" and that also runs fine.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
