Error shutting down VMs

Running VIC 2.0.1 Build 40644 some times when i shut down the VMs i get Error popup

Error connection: Error connection to /vmfs/volumes/45f7a8a4-22c44628-012a-00187178cb98/VMs/VMs.vmx because the VMX is not started.

Do you want to try again? YES OR NO

The VMs work´s ok when I start it again but I am a little bit concerned anyway by this error message.

I have sometimes this errormessage, too, but I can't say why they came up.

I've seen this a few times also, I think it's a bug. It sounds like it is still thinks the VM is started even though it was shutdown, maybe it's a timing thing in the VIC. It's never cuased any problems for me also besides being an annoyance.

I've seen this also. VC performance (Or lack of) is the cause. VC doesn't always get updates quickly enough from the hosts to know the exact status of the VM's or the host. Hopefully this will get sorted out in a future release.
