Can not use VMRUN from Applescript

$

Hello,

I managed to execute "start" and "stop" vmrun commands if i use Terminal, but I use the same commands in Applescript I get the error "Cannot open VM: /Users/pascal/Documents/Virtal Machine/Win 10 x64 iMac 2017.vmwarevm/Win 10 x64.vmx, Cannot read the virtual machine configuration file."

 

remark: the proper name of the folder is "Virtal Machine", with the spelling mistake :-(

 

Commands I use with Terminal: and both work!

vmrun stop /Users/pascal/Documents/Virtal\ Machine/Win\ 10\ x64\ iMac\ 2017.vmwarevm/Win\ 10\ x64.vmx soft

vmrun start /Users/pascal/Documents/Virtal\ Machine/Win\ 10\ x64\ iMac\ 2017.vmwarevm/Win\ 10\ x64.vmx

 

The syntax I use in Applescript:

property usr : "myuser"

property pswd : "mypsw"

do shell script "sudo /Applications/'VMware Fusion.app'/Contents/Library/vmrun start '/Users/pascal/Documents/Virtal Machine/Win 10 x64 iMac 2017.vmwarevm/Win 10 x64.vmx'" user name usr password pswd with administrator privileges

do shell script "sudo '/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun' stop '/Users/pascal/Documents/Virtal Machine/Win 10 x64 iMac 2017.vmwarevm/Win 10 x64.vmx' soft" user nameusrpasswordpswd with administrator privileges

 

Can you tell me what i do wrong in applescript?

 

Manhy thanks
