I added my VMware guest to Vimarun and tested both the foreground and background options.

When using the “foreground” option:
  • The guest VM starts automatically when the host is restarted.
  • After logging in to the host, VMware Workstation starts automatically and appears within about one minute.
  • According to VMware Workstation, the guest VM is running.
  • After logging off from the host user account, I lose the connection to the guest VM after about one minute.
  • When I log back in to the host, Vimarun shows the guest as stopped with a blue rectangle.
  • VMware Workstation also shows the VM status as Powered off.

When using the “background” option:
  • The guest VM starts automatically when the host is restarted.
  • After logging in to the host, both Vimarun and VMware Workstation show the guest VM as running.
  • However, the VM cannot be accessed through VMware Workstation itself; the VM tab remains black.
  • After logging off from the host user account, the guest VM continues running.
  • The guest VM can still be accessed remotely, for example via TeamViewer.

The “foreground” option is the one I would normally prefer to use.
However, if the guest VM is powered off whenever I sign out of the host user account, this does not seem to match what I expected from Vimarun.

Using the “background” option feels almost the same as starting the guest with vmrun using the nogui option through a scheduled task.

I’m considering using Vimarun to automatically start the server when the host restarts.

From what I’ve read about Vimarun, I understand that when I log on to the host,
my VM guest (the Terminal Server) may be temporarily suspended and then resumed again.

I have a few questions:
  1. Will the VM also be suspended and resumed again when I log out of the host?
  2. If other users log in to the host, could that affect my running VMs in any way?
  3. Could the suspend/resume action mentioned above cause issues for active Terminal Server user sessions?

You can download the update for Vimalin from:

https://www.vimalin.com/download/Vimalin....6.645.exe
(or use the Vimalin -> "Check for Updates" menu option)

How-to update
First uninstall the old version from the Add/Remove programs or in Windows 11 the Settings -> Apps & Features screen. If you keep defaults you are fine and nothing changes.
Only after the old Vimalin is uninstalled run the installer to update to Vimalin 2.6

Here's the list of changes since version 2.6.611:

General fixes
  • Vimalin did not work with VMware Workstation 26H1 as it would throw errors like "\vmrun not found.", this has been addressed.
  • The vimalin.ini file now has an option "SkipMissedJobs" that you can use to prevent a job that was missed to run when you turn the computer on. For more details on that see: https://forums.antwise.com/showthread.php?tid=224

Known Issues
  • If you use Windows 11 with vTPM (or normally encrypted) you cannot make backups when the VM is running. See here for more information.

Got a weird issue, hoping there is a nice easy fix.

Consider I have an AntView object on the screen and the mouse is hovering over it. I then start a new foxpro form without moving the mouse. Also, without moving the mouse, I release that form. The mouse is still over the AntView object, but now the mouse cursor has disappeared.

I can move the mouse around and the AntView control responds to the movements, but there is no cursor. The only way to get the cursor back is to move off the AntView control. If I move immediately back onto it, the mouse cursor is displayed correctly.

Do you have any ideas about this one? I can create an example if you need it.


Thanks!]]>

But, while editing the form, my Antview 2 instance is on a tab that is not the primary or active tab. A large grey box appears on top of all my form controls, in the same size and position of the antview control. I can't edit any of my controls.

I've attached a sample of what I'm seeing. 

My lazy fix is to position the antview control off screen and re-position it at runtime. I also set .Visible to true on page activation and false on deactivation.

It's a minor inconvenience
