Summary	0005580: Copy/Paste does not function out of the box with Kali Linux VMware Images
Description	When downloading a VMware image for Kali Linux directly from Kali.org the copy/paste function of open-vm-tools does not work out of the box. The resolution scaling or "Fit Guest Now" function works. You are able to restore copy/paste functionality by running "apt install libfuse-dev". Would it be possible to have that package added to the VMware releases to allow copy/paste to work out of the box?
Steps To Reproduce	Download images File -> Open -> Select "Kali-Linux-2019.2-vmware-amd64.vmx" Load and boot Attempt to copy/paste something from within the image to your host machine or vice versa.

We will be closing this ticket due to inactivity. Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/? If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket.
