Assume I have a runnign VM (e.g. with Win7 guestOS).
On my Win 7 hostOS I have a bootable *.ISO file.
In order to try out this ISO (and to boot from it) I always have to do manually the following:
1.) In VM Hardware settings assign *.iSO file as ISO image file of the DVD drive
2.) enable Connect at power on checkbox
3.) Give DVD drive priority in guestOS VM BIOS over booting from hard disc
4.) Start VM
After testing I have to undo all these settings manually.
This is unhandy and annoying.
Isn't there a way to do everything temporarily from cmdline?
I mean something like:
vmware.exe -ISOIMAGE=D:\work\mydvd.iso -DVDSTARTUP=connect -BOOTPRIO=DVD,DISK
