Hello,

So I have VMWare 7 running windows 7 on Yosemite like the title says. Does anyone know how you can run it so that I am able to pull up the downloaded .exe on the OS X screen. I currently am only able to pull it up on the Windows screen.

Hope this makes sense and if this is not clear please ask. Thanks in advance.

Click to expand...

Right click the VMware icon in the dock and show virtual machine library.

Select your active VM and then from the menu bar, click View → Unity

Note: you can't run EXE files in Yosemite. You still have to run them from within the virtual machine. Unless the EXEs are of the UNIX variant.

In VMWare 7 it should look like this.
