Using vmpmotion.pl on Windows RCLI

Duncan Epping · Jan 11, 2008 ·

When using vmpmotion.pl on Windows with the RCLI installed you will need to set some extra environment variables before the script will work. First besure that the Perl filetype is correctly setup. There should be a .pl entry:
Open Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, File Types

Next option is to change the environment variable and add the .pl to the pathext variable:
Properties of My Computer, Advanced, Environment Variables, System variables
