if i start manually from workstation it works but in a batch file with admin privilegies it dosnt.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware VIX\vmrun.exe" -T ws start  "D:\Virtual Machines\Win\Win.vmx" nogui

Before with vmware workstation 7 all those worked with 0 problems, now the virtual machine itself works good but vmrun dosnt.
