Using Hyper-V for virtual machine testing
I'm using Hyper-V to manage and create virtual machine images, and I'm trying to figure out how to write a TestComplete script on a phsyical machine to execute Hyper-V, load an virtual image (image ha...

The first sentence of my post describes it in detail but I will provide more info.
1. Write a TestComplete script or keyword on a phsyical machine to launch/execute Hyper-V. When I try to do this via Keyword Test (click on Hyper-V on my desktop), it does not function properly. Hyper-V isnt an executable, its an MSC.
2. Load an virtual image (image has a clean OS with TestExecute, my tested applications, and test cases installed) in Hyper-V using another script. Just like VMWare, once the virtual machine program is launched/executed, you can load a predefined virtual image. This script will probably contain calls to the Hyper-V COM APIs (like the code example I provide) but I do not know how to call into Hyper-V. It should be somethign like the API calls into VMWare like that code I provided?
3. Kick off TestExecute on that virtual image. The TestComplete script from the physical machine needs to somehow invoke TestExecute on the virtual machine that I loaded.
