Re: Opening file in guest

Hi,

 

Have you tried to pass the document as an argument?

 

Here's the help on the subject:

 

runProgramInGuest

 

Runs a specified program in the guest operating system.

The -noWait option returns a prompt immediately after

the program starts in the guest, rather than waiting for it

to finish. This option is useful for interactive programs.

The -activeWindow option ensures that the Windows

GUI is visible, not minimized. It has no effect on Linux.

The -interactive option forces interactive guest login.

It is useful for Vista and Windows 7 guests to make the

program visible in the console window.

You must provide the full pathname of a program

accessible to the guest. Also provide full accessible

pathnames for any files specified in the program

arguments, according to requirements of the program.

VMware Tools and a valid guest login are required.

 

<path to .vmx file>

[ -noWait |

-activeWindow |

-interactive ]

<program name>

[ <program arguments> ]

 

see vmrun manual at: VIX API Documentation
