RunProgramInGuest - wrong/not set StartDateTime

[Markus Kienleitner]

I recognized after debugging that the returned process of the method runProgramInGuest is not correctly set.

Here you can see that everything is set, except the StartDate: https://github.com/dblock/vmwaretasks/blob/598cef153435d9bfea79bfb53dc1a2c8ff13971f/Source/VMWareLib/VMWareVirtualMachine.cs#L909

Can somebody fix that or i am using the runProgramInGuest method not correctly?

<snip of my code>

            // declare a virtual host

            var virtualHost = new VMWareVirtualHost();

            // connect to a local (VMWare Workstation) virtual machine

            virtualHost.ConnectToVMWareWorkstation();

            //Add machines to virtual Machines List

            var virtualMachine = virtualHost.Open(machine.path);

            virtualMachine.LoginInGuest(machine.username, machine.password, 8, 100);

            machine.VmProcess = virtualMachine.RunProgramInGuest(cmd, arguments, Constants.VIX_RUNPROGRAM_RETURN_IMMEDIATELY, 1);

</snip of my code>

Question: how do you get access to the Constants in your code? (Constants.VIX_RUNPROGRAM_RETURN_IMMEDIATELY)
I tinkered and found that I get visibility to Constants if I add a reference to Interop.VixCOM, however as soon as I do that - I get a mess of compile errors, including...
"Type 'Vestris.VMWareLib.VMWareVirtualHost' from assembly .. cannot be used across assembly boundaries because a type in its inheritance hierarchy has a generic type parameter that is an embedded interop type."

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for any guidance,

James Hurst

This has been seen before. I am not sure what the conclusion is, but would be nice to figure it out and have some conclusive answer and to update documentation.
