Do I need/where to download VIX 1.6.1 for VMWare workstation 6.5.1?

I have VMWare Workstation 6.5.1 and by apparent mistake, VIX API 1.6.2

 

I want to use vix-perl and downloaded the API, extracted the zip, built the Perl module and hacked a manifest assembly to get the Perl module to load per the README.

 

Running on the same machine as the running VMWare Workstation, I'm getting:

 

Failed to get property type for 3010 on handle 16799219.

HostConnect() failed, 22003 The specified service provider was not found

 

Then I see the message: "VMware Workstation users should continue to use the version of VIX provided with Workstation."  However, I can not figure out how to download version 1.6.1 (I don't see any vix-perl for my VMWare Workstation installation).

 

Thanks,

Sean

Example code I'm using:

-


use VMware::Vix::Simple;

use VMware::Vix::API::Constants;

 

my $err = VIX_OK;

my $hostHandle = VIX_INVALID_HANDLE;

my $vmHandle = VIX_INVALID_HANDLE;

 

($err, $hostHandle) = HostConnect(VIX_API_VERSION,

                                  VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_WORKSTATION,

                                  undef, # hostName

                                  0, # hostPort

                                  undef, # userName

                                  undef, # password

                                  0, # options

                                  VIX_INVALID_HANDLE); # propertyListHandle

 

die "HostConnect() failed, $err ", GetErrorText($err), "\n" if $err != VIX_OK;
