What is VMware VIX

[xDanielxOossiex]

Hey guys! I was just cleaning up my pc with RevoUninstaller, and at the end of the uninstallable programs list, there is a program called VMware VIX.

Does anyone know what this is and what it's for?

The VIX API helps you write scripts to automate virtual machine operations and run programs that manipulate files within guest operating systems. VIX programs run on many different systems and support management of vSphere, Workstation, Player, and Fusion. Bindings are provided for C, Perl, and COM (Visual Basic, VBscript, C#).

So can I just uninstall it? I'm the only one using my pc and only my Windows profile is on my pc.

Yeah as long as you don't need it for anything.

I don't know what it's used for. Is it used by Sony Vegas Pro 13 or Adobe Photoshop CC 2015?

I don't think so as far as I can tell its for running programs on your computer when you're not actually at your computer. Heres a link if you want to research it more.

I had an Android emulator, I think it used VMWare.
