Hello there
I try to connect to a virtual machine on an esx server. Creating a connection does work properly, but I can't perform anything on the virtualHost object!
This is how I create the connection:
VMWareVirtualHost virtualHost = new VMWareVirtualHost();
virtualHost.ConnectToVMWareVIServer(EsxServer, EsxUser, EsxPassword);
And now, whatever method or property I'm calling, for example:
List<VMWareVirtualMachine> vitualMachines = virtualHost.RegisteredVirtualMachines.ToList();
I end up getting this error:
System.Exception: Failed to get all registered virtual machines ---> System.Exception: Failed to open virtual machine: fileName="SREAT01/SREAT01.vmx" timeoutInSeconds=60 ---> Vestris.VMWareLib.VMWareException:

Additional information:
- The user, does have the administrator rights for this VM
- vSphere Client, Version 5.5.0 / Build 1993072
- VMware vCenter Server, Version 5.5.0 / Build 1750787
Now, how can I fix this?
I searched the internet from the bottom to the top and could not find a solution!
Thanks in advance.
