VMWare: Working inside virtual machines

utter · #1 11-24-2006, 02:35 AM

Hi.
Can we use Visual Build Pro for working with VMWare inside virtual machiness?

We have a project, which changes a standard logon procedure to alternative with more functionality. Can we use Visual Build Pro, for example, to start virtual machine, logon to system in it, install our software, logoff & other actions?

If "no", maybe Visual Build Pro would support this actions in future?

Thanks in advance!

Configure the guest OS to automatically logon and run a startup script. The startup script (which could be a batch file or a VBP project if it is installed there) would install software, etc., and then shut down.

Another option would be to use the VisBuildPro Project or Run Program actions to execute build scripts or batch files remotely on the guest OS after starting it.
