    I have a java program ( using viJava -vShere SDK 5.1) which creates VM and then attaches an iso and then starts(power-on) the VM. So that starts to install the iso on the newly created VM, but after that the iso installation needs input like 'yes' and enter key stroke from the user, and not sure how to send that to VM. Any pointers would be appreciated. From web have gathered a few thing like VIX -that needs vmtools to run and VMRC- has only support for javascripts and vSphere guest SDK- does not support console interaction.

    Hi,
    I have a very similar issue. I have a Java App that will connect to the host, create a VM, upload an iso etc. But I also need to enter some additional information e.g. IP address and YES or NO. IS there any way to enter data to the VM? My project relies on this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
