Hi everybody!
I'm currently working with the vmrun-Tool, to control VMWare Virtual Machines. I'm using VMWareWorkstation 7.0.0/7.0.1 and VMWarePlayer 3.0.0 on Windows 7 x64.
I simply want to take a screenshot of each virtual machine which is powered on.
Listing the power-on virtual machines is quite simply and works! (vmrun list)
But the captureScreen command doesn't work. I have tryed serveral commandline options.
for example: vmrun -T ws captureScreen %VMPATH% %OUTPUTPATH% I get no error message, but the console is blocked (and the command never finishes).
I have also tryed to include -gu USERNAME and -gp PASSWORD, but it result in the same problem.
Sorry for my English and thanks for your help in advance!!!
