Clipboard Copy and Paste does not work in VMWare Player 12

Question

i can copy and paste text and files between Virtuelle Maschine (Windows 7) and my local Windows 7. But I can't copy this what is in clipboard - for example between two displays the same program (on display in Virtuale Maschine and second display in local Windows).

I have no option: VM > Options tab > Guest Isolation > Enable the Copy and paste

In VMWare Workstation it's worked but not in VMWare Player. How to fix it ?

Solution

EDIT: This is my routine now to fix it:

VM:

$ apt-get autoremove open-vm-tools $ apt-get install open-vm-tools $ apt --fix-broken install

Close VM.

In Windows Host:

echo off | clip

Start VM.

Hopefully works for you too.
