Bluetooth disappears completely from host when VMware PLayer starts

I recently started working on a new project and to get ramped up I needed to download and install a virtual machine so I could connect to the customer's systems.  The virtual image runs in a variation of VMware player (version 6.0.2 build-1744117) called "mokafive".

The virtual machine runs fine, and I don't have any trouble starting or stopping the VM,  But when I start up the VM in the mokafive player, Bluetooth completely disappears from the host laptop.  I can see it in Device Manager and everything is fine.  Then I start up the player, and Bluetooth disappears all together.  See the screen shots below:

Here you can see Bluetooth is working normally (on the host):

Next I start up the player:

And once the VM is up and running, Bluetooth is no longer visible in Device Manager:

Any ideas why Bluetooth stops working and what I can do to fix it?

Cheers,

Paul
