Minimal Win Env For Plugin Development

Hi,

 

What do people use to simulate an agent when developing a new plugin?   Does everyone use a full-blown windows machine, or some minimal test harness? For example, is it possible to use WinPE in a virtual machine?

 

I'm developing a plugin targeted for windows agents.  My preference is to develop it just using my own laptop.

 

Thanks,

-T

Tennis,

 

You can easily run an agent on your machine and connect it to localhost. Is there anything preventing you to do so?

Re: Minimal Win Env For Plugin Development

Good question.  There is one thing you're overlooking, possibly because I haven't mentioned it.     The plugin is meant to cause a reboot.     Therefore, it cannot use my own laptop windows env because I'll be constantly self-destructing.

 

Are my motives  clearer now?
