Release Notes

VMware Requirements

As described above, Automated Application Converter supports automated repackaging on VMware

ESX/ESXi Server and VMware Workstation.

• VMware VIX API Requirement

• VMware ESX/ESXi Server Permission Requirements

VMware VIX API Requirement

In order for Automated Application Converter to perform automated repackaging, it needs to

communicate with the virtualization technology that you are using. If you are using VMware virtualization

technology (VMware ESX or ESXi Server or a local VMware Workstation), the VMware VIX API needs to

be installed on the same machine as the Automated Application Converter. You can do this by either

installing VMware Workstation on that machine or by downloading and installing the VMware VIX API

from the following location:

http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api

Note • When using VMware Workstation, it is recommended that you install VMware Workstation on the

same machine as Automated Application Converter so that Automated Application Converter will use the

version of the VIX API that was designed for that specific version of VMware Workstation. Although it is

likely that newer versions of the VIX API will also work, it seems that the best approach is for Automated

Application Converter to use the version of the VIX API that was bundled with your version of VMware

Workstation.

VMware ESX/ESXi Server Permission Requirements

If you plan to use a VMware ESX/ESXi Server in conjunction with Automated Application Converter,

make sure that the account that you use to log in to this server has the permissions/roles needed to

automatically open a VM using VMware VIX API. The account needs to either have an administrator role

assigned or, at least, have the following three roles assigned:

• All Privileges/Virtual Machine/State/Create Snapshot

• All Privileges/Virtual Machine/State/Delete Snapshot

• All Privileges/Virtual Machine/Interaction/Console Interaction

If the login account does not have these permissions/roles, Automated Application Converter will be

unable to automatically boot up a virtual machine on that server.
