Windows RCLI Documentation

Hello Friends,

I dont have Knowledge about windows RCLI, i am managing my esx server from putty as my favorite command line interface, but recently i wanted to use RCLI for windows and installed it on my win7 client. i opened the command prompt of RCLI, but i wonder i am unable to execute any command. i doubted that there must be someting to exctract or install properly perl.

Can anyone tell me how to use this in windows and what should i have to do to use it properly. hopefully any documentation for new bees like me.

Thanks in Advance.

The vSphere CLI package includes everything you need to run commands.

Did you take a look at the vSphere Command-Line Interface Installation and Reference Guide yet?

from the guide:

The vSphere CLI installation package for Windows includes the ActivePerl runtime from ActiveState Software and required Perl modules and libraries.

You may also want to check the the VMware vSphere™ PowerCLI as an alternative to the CLI.
