The steps on how-to access and install that version of vmware tools can be found here: VMware tools not downloading My suggestion is to try VMware Tools from before Workstation 10. What I would do in your case is to install an older version of VMware Tools as it sounds like the drag and drop feature is broken in the current version (I'm not surprised) Windows 98 has only very limited support for USB and not a lot of inbox drivers.
USB 2.0 is after windows 98, so you need to set it to USB1.1 and use a USB device that has: and it has the vmware tools of that time too. Note however that this VM is so old that it is on Hardware version 4. I just tested it here with a Win98 VM I have and it worked OK.

I don't think VMware can bundle the USB drivers because of the Microsoft EULA. I think even Windows 2000 only supports USB 1.1. This is physical equivalent of plugging a hard disk into another machine, copy the files, unplug the hard disk with the files and plug into the Windows 98 machine.Īs far as I know, Windows 98 does not support USB 2.0 and only Windows 98 Second Edition supports USB 1.1. Then add the secondary VM hard disk to the Windows 98 VM. (2) copy the files into a secondary virtual disk in another VM where copy/paste or drag/drop or USB works. (1) create an ISO file (virtual CD) of the files you want to put inside the Windows 98 and mount the ISO file as virtual CD I would suggest still retry the methods previously suggested
