Hi,

I'm trying to use the VMware Server List VMs action to put the list of VMs into a variable. When I run this action I see the list of VMs in the build log but nothing ever gets written to the variable. I thought, possibly that I just couldn't see the contents of the variable in the watch widow so I tried writing it to a text file. When I look at the text file it's also empty.

Hi Larry,   
  
I couldn't reproduce the problem here, is it possible that the variable is set to be a macro variable (which cannot be set)?&nbsp;If its not then&nbsp;do you have any 'AfterAction' script which could be changing the value of the variable?   
  
Regards,   
Paul.
