Can't access shared Windows Folder from Linux guest

Hi:

I'm quite new into this virtual machine stuff. Although I think I'm close to achieving all that I need.

This is my envieornmen't.

I have a Suse Linux guest running under a Windows 7 host (VMWare Player 12)

I have setup on my Windows 7 a shared folder called 'C:\Users\Enrique\Downloads\Shared_LINUX'

This same folder is set up as a shared folder on VMWARE Player

Running under LINUX, I issue the following commands

> ls  /mnt

cdrom hgfs

> vmware-hgfsclient

Shared_LINUX

I have created a new folder on '/tmp/sharewin' which I'm attemting to access from LINUX.

But when I enter this command

> mount -v -t vmhgfs .host:C:/Users/Enrique/Downloads/Shared_LINUX /tmp/sharewin

Original command line: "/sbin/mount.vmhgfs -v -o rw .host:C:/Users/Enrique/Downloads/Shared_LINUX /tmp/sharewin"

Directory in share name must be an absolute path

Error: share name is invalid, abosting mount.

Please excuse me for posting such a naive and basic question, but I feel like I almost got it....and I can't really figure it out....

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Enrique Valdez
