There's nothing obivously wrong here. But I have a suggestion and some questions:

\- first, it may be crashing in the VixJob_Wait(), since the printf() may not be flushing -- can you tweak the code to be sure its flushing?

\- where does the debugger say the crash is?

\- what version of VMware server (and Vix) are you using?

\- I don't know anything about Dev-C++ -- is there a chance its got any incompatibilities with MS VC 2003 libraries?
