Hi Stuart,
If it is like Parallels, the issue may well be the permissions set
on the VM
file(s)
I know, for me, I had a VM created by one user and wanted it to be
usable by
two users - I did some googling and found articles in the Parallels
forums
which let me sort it out by changing permissions using Terminal -
after which
it worked fine - but cloning the machine didn't inherit the
privileges of
the original - so you had to do it again for the clone.
The permissions changes were different depending whether you wanted it
accessible to specific users (which I did) or open to any user
(which would
include "Guest" if you have it enabled).
Obviously exact steps/files would be different with Fusion - but I
suspect
the principle is the same.
I was working with existing VMs - if you are starting from scratch
you MAY
be able to get around it by specifying a shared folder for Fusion to
use for
the VMs (don't know, but worth a try).
Cheers
Neil

Hi there
Having a bit of a problem with Windows XP with VMWare Fusion.
Having to install Fusion on all users logons on the Intel iMac.
Can I not have one installation and share it with all users?
