Run exe on windows virtual machine from osx terminal

I have installed a command line executable on a windows virtual machine on my mac. I would like to launch this exe from osx terminal. Is that possible ?

Solution

  • VMWare Fusion comes with CLI vmrun, which, however is not placed in the PATH by default.

    '/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun' -h

    will tell you that there's a runProgramInGuest subcommand for running commands inside a given VM.
