Hi,
I'm a complete newbie at using VIX, and have a hopefully simple question.
I am using WMWare Server 2 Beta (Build 63231), and want to create a c# app to control the VM's.
I have installed the server components on Windows 2003 Enterprise x64, and have a couple of VM's running on the server.
From my development machine I have been using VS2008 (RTM Version) to create a .Net 2.0 C# test app to connect to the server.
From various installs of VIX, Server & Workstation I seem to have three different VixCom.dll, all with version 1.0.0.1.
All the Vix versions I have seem not to have the 1.2. API documentation, but only the 1.1. The parameter I have seen on the forums to connect to the Server is "VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_VI_SERVER", which is not a constant I can find in any of the DLL's I have. Also, the DLL from the server does not seem to work on my development machine - perhaps due to conflicts of x64 and x86 libraries?
FYI, I have installed (at various times)
Workstation 6
Server V1
Server V2
VIX api 1.1.2
VMWare-vix-e.x.p-63621.exe,
and get a VIX_API_VERSION of 2 for some dll's, and 3 for others.
As I'm new to this could someone tell me what DLL I need for this connection, and is it a VixCom.dll, or do I need to PInvoke a Vix.dll?
Sorry for the rambling message, but I seem to be going around in circles.
Thanks,
John....
