The most recent VMWare SDK is made for VS2005. The release notes mention that only VS2005 is supported and that version should be used.

Does anyone know if its possible to use this SDK with vs2008 or vs2010? What issues would I run into?

I've been using the SDK's .Net bindings, built by VMware's included VS 2005 utility, in VS 2008 and now 2010 for quite a while (over 2 years on 2008). I've had no problems using the same .dlls in newer Visual Studio versions.

  • I need the DLL's, does that mean I need to run the build script with the old version of Visual Studio? I have 2008 and 2010 installed but the batch files error out. – makerofthings7 Jan 12 '11 at 22:43
  • Yes, I had to build the DLL's from within the VS 2005 command prompt - meaning the entry in the start menu under Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 -> Visual Studio Tools rather than the usual command prompt. The build process for the .Net bindings uses a standard WSDL .Net binding generator included with VS 2005. – Evan Powell Jan 13 '11 at 21:13
