Programming API Does Not Always Report Failure of VixVM_CopyFileFromGuestToHost( )
Details
The Programming API function VixVM_CopyFileFromGuestToHost( ), when
used with Windows guest operating systems, incorrectly reports
success in certain situations where the copy operation did not
complete because the user did not have read permission for a file
in the Windows guest. With Linux guests, however, the same kind of
failure results in an error.
Solution
This is a known issue in the Programming API for VMware Server 1.0.
