Runwait is not working

[GAM]

HI,

 

I trying to copy a file from Host operating system to Guest operating system via VMWare-Workstation. The command prompt appears but disappears in a split of a second. Not sure where am going wrong. Can someone help please?

 

Here is the script that I have written...

 

$VWRunEXEPath = "C:Program Files (x86)VMwareVMware Workstation>vmrun.exe"

$GuestUserName = "agovada"

$GuestPwd = "Welcome2world"

$VMXPathOfTheOS = """C:VMImagesVista-64Vista x64.vmx"""

$SourcePathOfVSE = """C:dataVSE RP4 RTW.zip"""

$TargetPathOfVSE = """C:buildsrp4.zip"""

 

RunWait(@ComSpec  & " /c " & "'" & $VWRunEXEPath & " -T ws -gu " & $GuestUserName & " -gp " & $GuestPwd & " copyFileFromHostToGuest " & $VMXPathOfTheOS & " " & $SourcePathOfVSE & " " & $TargetPathOfVSE &"'")

 

NOTE : If I execute the command on cmd prompt then it works fine. Here's the actual command : "C:Program Files (x86)VMwareVMware Workstation>vmrun.exe" -T ws -gu agovada -gp Welcome2mcafee copyFileFromHostToGuest "C:VMImagesVista-64Vista x64.vmx" "C:dataVSE RP4 RTW.zip" "C:test1rp4.zip"

 

Thanks in advance.

A correction : Please read $GuestPwd = "Welcome2world" as $GuestPwd = "Welcome2mcafee"

Are you sure you want the > in stead of a before vmrun.exe?

Change the /C to /K on your CMD.exe line to keep the CMD window open to check for messages.

ps this has similar quotations as your example commandline:

RunWait(@ComSpec  & ' /k "' & $VWRunEXEPath & '" -T ws -gu '  & $GuestUserName & ' -gp ' & $GuestPwd & ' copyFileFromHostToGuest "' & $VMXPathOfTheOS & '" "' & $SourcePathOfVSE & '" "' & $TargetPathOfVSE & '"')

Hey, it worked after I replaced "" with ">". 

Very bad on my part, it was a very silly mistake.

Thanks a lot jos.
