I have a script that leverages vmrun to pause all running VMs when my Windows 8 Pro PC is shutdown. It pauses the VMs properly, however, the shared VMs that I set to auto-start do not auto-start. I'm beginning to wonder if I need to create a similar startup script to ensure that the VMs start properly as well.
It's the latest build of VMWare Workstation 9.0.1 build-894247. Windows 8 tells me periodically that I need to reinstall VMWare Workstation to get it to work. I've done that multiple times now with no improvement. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to try to migrate off to Hyper-V or another virtualation solution since I've always been very happy with VMWare.
