VMware question

charles

Not sure if anyone will be able to assist me but thought that I would give it a shot in the dark.

I have a VM that I am currently running that has 2k3r2 installed. I need to check to see if VM has VMWare tools installed or not, using C#. I have already gotten this to work. Now the real problem is that I need to automatically start the install of VMware Tools if it is not installed. So the biggest issue is that I need to execute code outside of the VM. I do not think that this is possible, but thought that I would ask anyways.

Thanks,

chuck

I have done that as well, but wanted to try and pick the brain of a few developers and see if anyone else has tried to do this. If I find an answer to it, prior to any posting, I will make sure to follow up on this post with my findings.

that is probably more a question to throw at the VMWare support team.
