Vestris.VMWareLib.VMWareException: Insufficient permissions in host operating system

Hello,

I am unable to execute the host.open(..) command to return a machine object using the VIX API.

Code is like this:

string pathToVM = "[csmrauto1a] " + name + "/" + name + ".vmx";

Console.WriteLine(pathToVM);

try

{

machine = host.Open(@pathToVM);

return true;

}

I get this stacktrace:

Vestris.VMWareLib.VMWareException: Insufficient permissions in host operating system

Successfully disconnected from host!!

I've verified that the connection is active by testing it during execution.

The VM admin gave my user administrator privileges.

Any idea what is causing this permissions problem?

Thanks,
