title: Need help running visualvm on Windows when under VMWare
body: <p>I am doing some Java development on Windows 7 x64 running inside VMWare Fusion 3.x (OSX). I have installed JDK6 (update 26), set JAVA_HOME to the path (no trailing slash), and restarted my command prompt. </p>
  
  <p>I can successfully launch the program. During startup it runs the calibration and then fails with this error:</p>
  
  <p>"Could not create directory\VMWare-host\Shared Folders\ .nbprofiler" (no space after that slash but the markup was hiding the period)</p>
  
  <p>I can click to continue, but when I'm in the program I cannot do CPU or Memory profiling. I throws up a similar error box:</p>
  
  <p>"Error retrieving saved calibration data for target JVM: Could not create...(same as earlier)"</p>
  
  <p>Once upon a time I had this working by passing the --userdir flag and -J-Dnbprofiler.home during startup, but that trick isn't working anymore.</p>
  
  <p>(The complete command was:
  jvisualvm --userdir c:\Users\myname -J-Dnbprofiler.home=c:\Users\myname
  )</p>
  
  <p>How can I force jvisualvm to save its calibration data on a "real" drive instead of the vmware network drive and get this working?</p>
