This post has a few questions.

What is error code 6 when trying to connect?
I get this error returned in everything C, C#, VB, VBScript/WSH, Perl
Why am I having these exceptions in VixCom for GetErrorText?
Why do my programs crash when compiled with DevC++ and VC++2005 but run fine with VC++6 (except error 6 returned)?
Is this a bug in VixCom/Vix?
Has anyone had any luck with VixCom or Vix on VMWare Server?
If yes, can you please post your code or a link to a project source?
Language is not a problem as long as it uses VIX.
The other APIs do not support some of the functionality I am seeking.

Environment:
WinXPSP2
VMWare Server 1.0.3 (even though it has been tried on older versions and different machines)
Vix API 1.1
Tried in various languages (C#, VB, VBScript, C)
