Hello Matt, thank you for providing the great (older) Code for accessing VMs!
Sadly this type of code in C# in rare because a lot of people are using powershell this times.
Could you give me please a clue how to gain read access easily to the tags of VMs in C#?
VM.Tag ist always empty [0].
(I don't want to execute powershell in c#)
Thank you very much and regards 🙂

The library "vmware.vm.dll" is used, is it free and re-distributable ?

For PowerCLI 6.5 the path to VMare.Vim.dll: C:\Program Files

When the application is complied using this method, will it require powercli to be installed on the system that is running it?
