I would like to run program in guest OS.

Version: vSphere web service SDK 7.0

Language: C#

I do not know how to new a instance to invoke StartProgramInGuest. Could someone help me? I would appreicate you very much.

My program will have an error when executed to line "var vimPortType = new VimPortTypeClient("StartInGuest", @"https://localhost/sdk/vimService");"

code ##############################################################

using System;
using Vim25Api;

other code ...

public static void StartInGuest()
{
ManagedObjectReference processMgr = new ManagedObjectReference();
processMgr.type = "GuestProcessManager";
processMgr.Value = "ha-guest-operations-process-manager";

NamePasswordAuthentication auth = new NamePasswordAuthentication();
auth.username = "zzz";
auth.password = "123";
auth.interactiveSession = true;

GuestProgramSpec progSpec = new GuestProgramSpec();
progSpec.programPath = "C:\\WINDOWS\\NOTEPAD.EXE";
progSpec.arguments = "";

var vmRef = new ManagedObjectReference { type = "VirtualMachine", Value = "vm-192" };

VirtualMachineGuestQuiesceSpec virtualMachineGuestQuiesceSpec = new VirtualMachineGuestQuiesceSpec();
var vimPortType = new VimPortTypeClient("StartInGuest", @"https://localhost/sdk/vimService");

try
{
long pid = vimPortType.StartProgramInGuest(processMgr, vmRef, auth, progSpec);

}
catch (System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException se)
{
Console.WriteLine(se.Message);
Console.WriteLine(se.Detail.FirstChild.LocalName);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
}
