I encountered a problem despite having file transfers active and VM guest installation. The bidirectional transfers work, but sending from host to guest or guest to host isn't functioning when enabled.
When things got tricky, I followed your advice and set up a P3 rig for XP and earlier. It turned out to be much easier than dealing with a VM, and I was able to run my old DOS games from their floppy disks.
