Hi,
I'm trying to use wait-tools exactly like its used in the docs - as a way to determine when a guest has recovered from a restart. But no matter what state the guest is in, I get this error (below). The tools are installed and have been verified to work (i.e. powercli calls to it run fine after the restart).
> get-vm taw2k8r2v070 | restart-vmguest | wait-tools
wait-tools : 8/11/2013 08:10:17 Wait-Tools The requested operation could not be performed because VIX is not installed on this machine. Please install VIX if you want to use this
functionality.
