Resizing 10.9 and 10.10 VMs with AppleScript

Hi all,

 

I use AppleScript to re-size 10.9 and 10.10 VMs (several scripts out there that more or less do the same thing) and I have my own flavor that takes into account differences of screen size of my iMac and my MacBook Pro.  Since upgrading to Fusion Pro 7 these scripts are now broken which is pretty surprising.  I spend very little time writing AppleScript so before I go digging and debugging just curious if others ran into this?  Below is a simplified script for illustration where this is returned: error "VMware Fusion got an error: Can’t set window 1 to {640, 178, 1920, 1262}." number -10006 fromwindow 1

 

An example:

 

settheAppto "VMware Fusion"

setappHeightto 1084

setappWidthto 1280

 

tellapplication "Finder"

  setscreenResolutiontoboundsofwindowofdesktop

endtell

 

setscreenWidthtoitem 3 ofscreenResolution

setscreenHeighttoitem 4 ofscreenResolution

 

tellapplicationtheApp

  activate

  setyAxisto (screenHeight - appHeight) / 2 asinteger

  setxAxisto (screenWidth - appWidth) / 2 asinteger

  settheboundsofthefirstwindowto {xAxis, yAxis, appWidth + xAxis, appHeight + yAxis}

endtell
