Problem during power on and trying to run guest program in VM under vsphere client

[Heming Liu]

Hi guys

             This problem bugged me for the whole day.

 

              I'm able to use the vetris api to connect to vm and i enabled automatically logon, if I see my screen, the runprograminguest can start fine, 

              However, if i power off and then power on, I need to wait for the VM windows screen to physically appear for the interactive_environment. 

              I do not want to silly wait for 60 seconds, but when I use WaitForVMWareUserProcessInGuest(), it just times out as there is no vmwareuser.exe present, i think it is changed to  vmtoolsd.exe

               virtualMachine.WaitForToolsInGuest();

               virtualMachine.WaitForVMWareUserProcessInGuest("username", "password");

               virtualMachine.LoginInGuest("username", "password", Constants.VIX_LOGIN_IN_GUEST_REQUIRE_INTERACTIVE_ENVIRONMENT, 30000);

                    

                    // run notepad

               virtualMachine.RunProgramInGuest(@"C:\Program Files\test\test.exe", string.Empty);

               is there anyway to resolve this?

               greatly appreciated

thanks

The extra wait unfortunately was the only reliable way we found how to do this, but maybe a VMWare forum would be able to help with a better solution.
