VMware unity helper

Hello all,

I'm using VMware in Unity mode, and I'm looking to use the VIX API to control the VM.  I want to be able to launch programs, as well as launch unity mode.  My host is Ubuntu, and my guest is Windows 7.  Here's what I've come up against:

  • Is it possible to use the VIX API to enter unity mode?  I can't find any information on it.
  • I can use vmware-unity-helper to run programs in the guest without supplying a user name/password, how can I do that with the VIX API?  I've tried not supplying the information to VixVM_LoginInGuest, but it doesn't let me log in.

If neither of these things are possible, I could always just run vmware-unity-helper on its own, but I would like to try and use the VIX API for better integration with existing stuff.

Thanks.
