I have everything working properly but one question I have is LogoutFromGuest a valid function for VIX 1.0 and Server 1.0.3?[/b] It returns the same protected memory problem that is thrown when trying to connect to VMwareServer with VIX 1.1/2 API Version being passed instead of 1.0. I just find it kinda odd that you can login to the guest tools but not remove authentication of it, even though this step seems unnecessary. For reference I am using VIXcom 1.1 API and sending the connection string as Version 1 for VMware Server 1.0.3. When calling job = vm.LogoutFromGuest(Nothing) Error Message: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

This post has a few questions. What is error code 6 when trying to connect?[/b] I get this error returned in everything C, C#, VB, VBScript/WSH, Perl Why am I having these exceptions in VixCom for GetErrorText?[/b] Why do my programs crash when compiled with DevC++ and VC+2005 but run fine with VC+6[/b] (except error 6 returned)[b]?[/b] Is this a bug in VixCom/Vix?[/b] Has anyone had any luck with VixCom or Vix on VMWare Server?[/b] If yes, can you please post your code or a link to a project source?[/b] Language is not a problem as long as it uses VIX. The other APIs do not support some of the functionality I am seeking.
