Workstation 10 - vmAutoStart.xml missing

[cjweiland201110]

Hello,

I have a shared VM (2008R2) running on a machine  with W2K3.

The VM is shared and booted when the host does boot. No Problem here.

I want, of course, that the VM is suspended when the host is shutting down.

I found the information that this can be set up in vmAutoStart.xml.

It should be in D:\Programme\VMWare\Workstation\hostd but there is no file at all.

I did a search of the whole machine but couldn't find it.

I could do it with VMRun and a script at shut-down, I know.

But it's more safe if VMWare is doing the Job.

Any idea?

Cheers

Christian

How about here C:\ProgramData\VMware\hostd\vmInventory.xml file?

I've attached the vmAutoStart.xml with this reply. If you don't have any luck in finding it try using this.

The file vmInventory.xml file is located in C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Administator\Anwendungsdaten\VMware.

It's a German Windows.

In an English Windows, that would be C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\VMWare

I dont think it's a good idea to put the attached file in there.

There is no Directory C:\ProgramData\VMWare\hostd

Is the attached file from a WS 10 installation?
