Can not add vixDiskLib.dll in to Visual Studio 2005

[anykey]

Hi Guys,

Great to hear about this new API, but I do not seem to be able to add the DLL as a reference into my Visual Studio 2005 project. I get an error "A reference to 'c:\program files\vmware\vmware virtual disk development kit\bin\vixDiskLib.dll' could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

is this (like the guestSDK) one of those libaries based on pure C and you have to manually add every bloody function by hand into my project? If so..WHY?

I hope someone can help me with this.

VixDiskLib is a C DLL - i.e. not managed assembly etc.

Hi Sudarsan,

Why is this? (like the guestApi) This makes it (for me and I assume a lot of other people) a lot harder to work with using normal visual studio.
