VMWareTasks 1.4 with VMWareLib and VMWareTools is the latest stable version and was released November 28th, 2009 >
Download. It supports VixCOM 1.6.2, 1.7.0 and 1.8.0. VMWareTasks is used by just about everyone who needs to call VMWare VixCOM API from .NET. It's stable, tested and indistry proven. There's also a scriptable interface and a Java Com4J JNI bridge.
Project DescriptionThe VMWare SDKs offer a rich set of programmable interfaces that enable developers to drive virtual machines programmatically with an asynchronous, job-based programming model. Unfortunately that turns out to be too complicated for 99.9% of scenarios and most developers want to use a simple object-oriented interface for common VMWare tasks. The VMWareTasks library implements that interface and makes programming against virtual machines a no brainer. It requires VixCOM, encapsulates all its functions, and supports VMWare Workstation, Server and VI (eg. ESX). It also includes and a VMWareTools add-on with wrappers for reading remote files and environment variables on Windows VMs.
