I went to install the VMware SDK for vSphere 4.0 on to my desktop running Windows 7 64-bit, Visual Studio 2008, and .Net 3.5 SP1 and discovered the SDK setup is not friendly with these versions. According to VMware you need Visual Studio 2005 and .Net 2.0 if you want to run the SDK.
So like most of you reading this I turned to my trusted adviser…google to find the answer I was looking for. Much to my disappointment after 5 minutes of searching around I didn’t find any instant gratification for my problem so I decided to just go ahead and figure it out on my own.
It turned out to be a relatively easy task once I discovered what was causing my issues. There are two windows cmd scripts that need to be edited to point to the proper locations of your installations. I have included the modified cmd files in our downloads section for those of you that would like them. These files are built to support my specific configuration but they are very easily edited to support your configuration.
