vmware-unity-helper problem

Hello everyone.

I have encountered a strange problem while using vmware-unity-helper command.

The environment is as follows:

1. Host is Linux 3.0.0-16 generic Ubuntu 11.10
2. VMWare Player version 4.0.2
3. Guest OS is Windows 7x64

I had problems with running my own executable in unity mode using the vmware-unity-helper command.
So I created a simple test case.

I want to run a Windows calculator using vmware-unity-helper command.

So, I wrote a simple script, called start_calc (it's attached).

As you can see, my Windows image sits in /host/vmware/...

This script works and opens calculator as required.

Then,  I proceeded to a little bit more complex script (called  start_vchecker), which does the same, but as parameter receives a file  (called config_file_calc) with two lines: the first line holds the path  to Windows image, and second line holds a path to calculator.
start_vchecker  script reads those two lines, writes their values to its variables and  then calls the vmware-unity-helper command.

But a strange thing is that it succeeds to open Windows in unity mode, but calculator isn't opened.

Can you, please, assist me in this issue?

The files are attached.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Dima.
