I want to launch an executable in my virtual machine(Windows Server 2003 OS and is installed using VMWARE Workstation) from my base machine

I tried the following command

“C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware VIX\vmrun” -T server -h https://machine-name.domain-name:8333/sdk -u username -p password -gu guestusername -gp guestpassword runProgramInGuest “[standard] vmname/vmname.vmx” -activeWindow “C:\windows\system32\notepad.exe”

On doing this notepad doesn’t shows up but on opening taskmanager it shows notepad.exe running under my account

Thanks in advance
