Hi !
In short: It is exactly the same problem as : https://communities.vmware.com/message/400354 but the thread is now close. For myself, it concern a French Keyboard.
For example, AltGr + 8 do nothing (it expects to print a "\" backslash instead).
Or, shift + "*" print a "£" pound sign (it expects to print a "µ" character instead).
Of course, Alt + 92 works fine and give me a "\" backslash...
I'm running VM Player 6.0.3 on Win8 (not VM Workstation 5.5 as mention in the previous thread) and the guest OS is Windows 98 first edition.
Keyboard is O.K. on Windows, buggy in DOS-box.
I've tried the given answer ... but at offset 0xB1 (261 octal) in the .nvram file I found a 0 ... not a 0x92 or 0x82 !
Is there a solution using Workstation to edit the .nvram file (BIOS information) ? Something else ?
Thanks in advance,
Alex.
