Programming API Can Crash Due to Power Off or Power On of Virtual Machine

Details

If you use the Programming API function to power a virtual machine off and then on again, a call to VixVM_WaitForToolsInGuest( ) may cause a crash in the API library.

Solution

If you need to power-cycle virtual machines after installing VMware Tools, you should release the handle after powering off the virtual machine. Then open a new handle, power on the virtual machine, and call VixVM_WaitForToolsInGuest( ) on the second handle.
