I have a Virtual Machine in Virtual PC 2007.
To start it from the desktop, I have the following command in a batch file:
"c:\program files\Microsoft Virtual PC\Virtual PC.exe" -pc "MY-PC" -launch
But that leaves a dos prompt on the host machine until the virtual machine shuts down, and I exit out of the Virtual PC console. That’s annoying.
So I changed my command to use the START command, instead:
start "c:\program files\Microsoft Virtual PC\Virtual PC.exe" -pc MY-PC -launch
But it chokes on the parameters passed into Virtual PC.
START /? indicates that parameters do indeed go in that location. Has anyone used START to launch a program with multiple command-line arguments?
