Hi,
Here's the basic environment:
VMware Workstation: 9.0.2 build-1031769
Host: Windows 8, 64-bit (Build 9200) 6.2.9200 , 32668 MB, AMD FX 8350 w/ 8 cores.
Guest: Win7Ult SP1 32bit, 1CPU w/ 2 Cores, 3.03GB
Scenario:
Click on Unity icon in Guest and get the Unity button in host as desired.
Click on Unity button in host, click on Programs, If a program has a shortcut in the root level of the Programs menu (e.g. Programs > Internet Explorer) it launches as expected.
Click on Unity button in host, click on Programs, If a program has a shortcut in a first folder level of the Programs menu (e.g. Programs > Microsoft Office > Outlook 2010) it launches as expected.
Problem:
Click on Unity button in host, click on Programs, If a program has a shortcut (or 3rd level folder) in the second folder level of the Programs menu (e.g. Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office 2010 Tools), the Microsoft Office 2010 Tools folder just displays "(Empty)". However, in the guest there actually are entries in the Microsoft Office 2010 Tools folder that work (e.g. Microsoft Office 2010 Language Preferences).
I will greatly appreciate assistance with this problem. The success of the Unity function is a requirement in this pre-production test environment and will determine whether VMware is chosen for future production environments.
