AddSharedFolder

$

I'm trying to add a shared folder to the VM (.vmx) after reverting to a snapshot.  I used to do this via directly editing the .vmx file and mapping via "net use," on the guest through script.  This way worked when i start from PowerOn, but not from RevertToSnapshot.  So, I decided to try the api method, but from the documentation I'm not sure how the paths should look.

 

 

I would like to map any drive to c:\documents and settings\<username>\my documents\appname (host side) and on the guest have it be "persistent storage."

 

 

 

 

 

Below is what i'm trying but doesn't seem to map anything. I see sharedfolder info is added to the .vmx file.

 

 

     m_jobHandle = VixVM_AddSharedFolder(m_vmHandle,

                                                  "y:
\host
shared folders
Persistent Storage",

                                                  "c:
documents and settings
rod
my documents
internet cleanroom",

                                                  VIX_SHAREDFOLDER_WRITE_ACCESS,

                                                  &TVMWareBase::HandleCallback,

                                                  &m_bHandleCallbackDone);

 

 

 

 

 

Can someone show me from my example what the correct paths should be?

 

 

thanks,

 

 

Rod
