vpshere5 sdk: building vim25 dlls with VS2010 fails

[bvivek]

I am trying to build sdk dlls with VS2010. Following part works for building vim dlls

D:\vsphere5 sdk\SDK\vsphere-ws\dotnet\cs>wsdl /n:VimApi /o:VimService.cs ..\..\wsdl\vim\vim.wsdl ..\..\wsdl\vim\vimService.wsdl

D:\vsphere5 sdk\SDK\vsphere-ws\dotnet\cs>csc /t:library /out:VimService2010.dll VimService.cs

D:\vsphere5 sdk\SDK\vsphere-ws\dotnet\cs>sgen /p VimService2010.dll

However following command to build vim25 dlls fails

D:\vsphere5 sdk\SDK\vsphere-ws\dotnet\cs>wsdl /v /n:Vim25Api /o:Vim25Service.cs ..\..\wsdl\vim25\vim.wsdl ..\..\wsdl\vim25\vimService.wsdl

If you would like more help, please type "wsdl /?".

Can somebody help me get rid of this error?

Thanks,

Vivek.

Hi Vivek

Even I am facing the same problem. Has anyone got the solution?

It seems like you can work with VimService2010.dll generated from vim.wsdl. However, to support latest ESXis and VCenters we should go for Vim25Service2010.dll generated from vim25.wsdl.

vim.wsdl - This wsdl is to be used in conjunction with ESX 3.0.x and VirtualCenter 2.0.x
vim25.wsdl - This wsdl is to be used in conjunction with ESX 3.5, ESXi 3.5, VirtualCenter 2.5, ESX
4.0, ESXi 4.0 and vCenter Server 4.0

if not exist Vim25Service2010.dll (
wsdl /n:Vim25Api /o:Vim25Service.cs ..\..\wsdl\vim25\vim.wsdl ..\..\wsdl\vim25\v
imService.wsdl
csc /t:library /out:Vim25Service2010.dll Vim25Service.cs
sgen /p Vim25Service2010.dll
)

I am having the same issue as well.

>wsdl.exe /n:Vim25Api %WSDLHOME%\Vim25\vim.wsdl %WSDLHOME%\Vim25\vimService.wsdl

FAILS with

Could not find a part of the path <rest of the path>\vmware\sdk\sdk\vsphere-ws\wsdl\vim25\query-messagetypes.xsd'.
