I have looked at this thread:
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/156057
but when I try to connect to my VM running on ESXi I get:
Error opening the remote virtual machine 192.168.10.28\“[datastore1]Vista1/Vista1.vmx:
Invalid datastore format '“[datastore1]Vista1/Vista1.vmx'.
ESXi says my Virtual Machine Configuration File is at "[datastore1] Vista1/Vista1.vmx"
I'm using the command line:
vmware-vmrc.exe -h 192.168.10.28 -m "[datastore] Vista1/Vista1.vmx
Then I log in as root and see the error. My ESXi options page is attached.
Try the following command:
vmware-vmrc.exe -h 192.168.10.28 -m "vmfs/volumes/datastore1/Vista1/Vista1.vmx"
You need to use "path" if you have spaces also you need to provide the full path .. /vmfs/volumes/....

It should be " Vista1/Vista1.vmx" I guess.

It should be "datastore1 Vista1/Vista1.vmx". This is Not correct Vista1 is contained in the folder Datastore1 therefore you need to use to perform the command correctly
datastore1/Vista1/Vista1.vmx

Here is what worked:
vmware-vmrc.exe -h 192.168.10.28 -m "[datastore1] Vista1/Vista1.vmx"
Hi, switch -m is unknown for Esxi 5.5 client however -d switch works for me works for me:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VMware\VMware VMRC Plug-in\Internet Explorer>vmware-vmrc -h 10.10.10.22:443 -d "[datastore1] Ubuntu 64-b
it/Ubuntu 64-bit.vmx"
Hope this helps
