aphesia Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 hi, is there a way to control a virtual machne? i want to this : run the virtual machine (not hard just maximizing the window + mosue click on the start button) then INSIDE the virtual machine running some programms (i could do this with an other program i put in autostart). When the programms are done , stopping the vm (click stop button). the problem is: how to tell the main programm that the programm in the vmware is finished? the programm in the vmware is also a autoit one thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzz Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 First enable the shared folder in the VM with the host, then put an .ini file in the shared folder. Use the function IniWrite at the end of the script in the VM, and use the function IniRead in the host. So if the host sees any change of value in the shared ini. then the host shuts down the vm.
