RunProgramInGuest: A program could not run on the guest operating system

[Piotr Bogdański]

I have a problem with running program using vmwaretasks and C#.

It fails on below command:

virtualMachine.RunProgramInGuest(TestFilePath, InstallArguments, 60*60);

with error: 

Test Name: xxx("ProjectTeams/Platon/win8x64en/win8x64en.vmx","OEM","en")

Test FullName: Vestris.VMWareLibSamples.VMWareVirtualHostSamples.xxx("ProjectTeams/Platon/win8x64en/win8x64en.vmx","OEM","en")

Test Source: d:\PerfProjects\Enigma-1.5\ClassLibrary1\ClassLibrary1\Class1.cs : line 32

Test Outcome: Failed

Test Duration: 0:00:22.637

Result Message:

System.Exception : Failed to run program in guest: guestProgramName="C:\TempFolder\xxx 3.2.0.788 Setup.exe" commandLineArgs="/debuglogC:\TempFolder\InstallLog.txt /s /v/qn"

I have found out that when I have created user on guest with the same name as my local user(where visial studio is installed) then the same code runs as expected. But when I am trying to use guest account with different username as my local user, that it fails with above exception.

UAC and Firewall is turned of for both(same and different name) users.

This is my login command:

virtualMachine.LoginInGuest(UserId, Password, Interop.VixCOM.Constants.VIX_LOGIN_IN_GUEST_REQUIRE_INTERACTIVE_ENVIRONMENT,30);

Do you have any answer why this is happening? Is there any workaround for this issue? Please help

Is there anything in the guest's event log? It sounds like maybe the logon doesn't actually succeed (?). How is that EXE copied? Try running something else that is in say c:\windows, does that work?
