Hi all,
Not so new VMware Fusion user but new to the community. My setup:
- Host
- OS X 10.7.5 on MacBook Pro
- VMware Fusion 5.0.1
- Guest
- OS X 10.7.5
- VMware Tools 9.2.1.16070 (build-818201)
- Java 7 Update 9
I sometimes need to use Network Connect in my OS X VM to connect to my data center VPN (my host is connected to the corporate VPN). This has worked very well unto Apple release the Java 6 2012 006 update and removed the browser plugin (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5493). I have a snapshot saved with an older version of Java installed and that still works fine. But... I figured I might as well update to Java 7 since that works well on my host. Unfortunately with Java 7 Update 9 installed, Network Connect won't run in my guest OS X. In fact, I can't even open the Java Control Panel in my guest OS.
I see some chatter about this but no solutions or hope for this to work. Is Java 7 just not going to work inside of a virtual machine? Whose fault is that? Who do I appeal to?
Thanks for any advice!
