I am just asking if anybody who runs VMplayer can use that feature?
how to check:
inside windows VM go to Start > Default Programs > Set default program > Chose "Default Host Application" to open http/https URLs
then open any application inside VM for example Outlook with any external URL and click on that URL, (or just run this in CMD window: C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools>VMwareHostOpen.exe --url http://google.com)
there should be 2 options:
1) URL will be opened in default browser on your Host Machine
2) you will get error like: "Make sure the virtual machine's configuration allows the guest to open host applications"
please give me your results with guest and host OS you are running, thanks!
