I'm having an issue with a Perl VIX script that I am writing. I am connecting to a VM, I wait for the VMWare tools using VMWaitForToolsInGuest, and then I execute a VBScript. After about 15 minutes, I get an 3016 error code "VMWare Tools are not running in the guest", but if I check the VM manually, the tools are running. Does anyone have any clue as to why I might get this error if the tools are running?
Below is the code that I am using. I am able to connect to the VM before this in the same script without error. The error occurs during the last VMRunProgramInGuest.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy
