can you just update 17.6.0 to 17.6.1 from VM app? Not running VMware today, I had a weird issue yesterday but I may start separate thread if I can't resolve it today...

I had issues previously while installing from the VMware app... so this time I just downloaded the installer from here CDS Repository - /build/mts/release/bora-24319023/publish/cds/vmw-desktop/ws/17.6.1/24319023/windows/core
Then unpack the archive.tar and you will get the installer.exe, after that manually installation... in my case, no issues so far

Same. Did it yesterday and did it for the previous two updates also. Everything went fine.

I didn't have time to respond / update yesterday. I opened VMware 17.6.0 | help | software updates -- it found 17.6.1 and said it could only update from app v17.6 or later, ok, so I hit [download & install] and it did update ok here on my win10. One of things it said specifically during install was about updating linux features (paraphrase). In VM_linux today...

Running VMw 17.6.1 aok and running Manjaro linux which I installed 3 or 4 days ago. I noticed tonight that I could copy & paste from Guest to Host and visa versa, and I thought I was isolated. I opened VM | Settings | Options | Guest Isolation and found that both copy & paste boxes were ENABLED! I don't know (or recall) if prior versions were default with this disabled, but 8 previous VMs created with v16 (or v15) have this disabled. I know that I did not Enable them in this linux VM. I may have forgotten but had been thinking disabled is default, so suggest you check if this isolation is important to you. And what is the "threat level" of having copy & paste enabled.
