【问题描述】：

我有一个使用了一段时间的 python VMWare 脚本。最近将我的工作站版本从 15.5.5 升级到 15.5.6 后，脚本在 python VIX 模块中引发异常：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python38_64\lib\runpy.py", line 192, in _run_module_as_main
    return _run_code(code, main_globals, None,
...more...
    vm, ss = common.get_vm(params.vm_path, params.vm_snapshot)
  File "D:\play\vmware\common.py", line 52, in get_vm
    host = vix.VixHost()
  File "C:\Python38_64\lib\site-packages\vix\VixHost.py", line 141, in __init__
    raise VixError(vix.VixJob_GetError(job))
vix.VixError.VixError: VixError #22002: The specified version was not found

我卸载了新的 VMWare Workstation 版本并重新安装了 15.5.5。我的vixwrapper-config.txt（降级后）看起来像这样：

#...more...
# will be the first used.  If for some reason that value fails, it will
# continue through any other matches.

# Workstation 15.0.0
ws        19  vmdb  15.0.0 Workstation-15.0.0
player    19  vmdb  15.0.0 Workstation-15.0.0

# latest un-versioned
ws        19  vmdb  e.x.p Workstation-15.0.0
player    19  vmdb  e.x.p Workstation-15.0.0

# EOF

我尝试pip uinstall vix 并重新安装，但问题仍然存在。我使用的 VIX 绑定是：

pip show vix
Name: vix
Version: 1.0.7
Summary: VMware VIX binding for Python (unofficial)
Home-page: https://github.com/naim94a/vix

Location: c:\python38_64\lib\site-packages
Requires: cffi, six

使用vmrun.exe start <path_to_vm> 启动虚拟机没有任何问题。 任何帮助将不胜感激。

【参考方案1】：

更改vixwrapper-config.txt后修改行：

ws        19  vmdb  e.x.p Workstation-15.0.0
player    19  vmdb  e.x.p Workstation-15.0.0

到：

ws        19  vmdb  15.5.0 Workstation-15.0.0
player    19  vmdb  15.5.0 Workstation-15.0.0

它又开始工作了。
