Hello all,
I am performing some testing with vCO 5.5 before putting it into my company's environment.
Although I can run some workflows successfully (create, clone VMs and things like that), I am strugling trying to run a program in a guest.
As a newbie, I am still using vCO workflows out of the box (no modifications performed yet) so i don't know why the workflow called "run program in guest" fails...
I am using this config:
user: test
password: password1
vm: vm-xp (guest powered on and selected through vCO GUI)
interactive session: yes
program path: C:\windows\notepad.exe
arguments: N/A
working directory: C:\windows
environment: N/A
i have tried with different configurations, but always the same result and not useful errors logged...
Can anyone give me a hand?
Thanks in advance
Due to my ignorance :smileysilly:, I installed VIX plugin (obsolete as far as i know) to be able to interact with the guests.
After checking the server.log, I found out that there was some errors trying to calling the VIX plugin, so I uninstalled the plugin and everything works now.
Many thanks for all your help.

Without Interactive session ticked?
Hello,
Thanks for your reply, but I am afraid the workflow keeps failing whatever that option is set to.
is there any way I can see where is it failing?
Try with the following parameters:
interactive session: Yes
program path: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
arguments: /c C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your attempt, but still no joy...
I have tried also on a Win7 (fresh and UAC disabled) but the same result.
what could i add to the workflow to troubleshoot? any log i can see some info?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards.
Tried it in my test environment (Win 2008 R2); seems to work fine.
You can check for some info in the vCO server log at {VCO_INSTALL_DIR}\app-server\logs\server.log

FYI - I have recommended that the VIX plug-in be removed from the FLINGs page as it has been deprecated for quite some time now and can cause all kinds of problems such as the one you recently experienced.
