afterfx -r switch on command line in Parallels Virtual Machine

Hi everyone, hope all are well this morning!

 

I know the issue I'm posting about is particular to my setup.  I have a Parallels VM running After Effects CC 2014.  It works flawlessly in normal use, but I encountered an issue with launching scripts from the command line using the -r switch.  I setup the Windows environment path variable so that `afterfx` is found when I type it into the command line.  So, when I do something like this on the command line:

 

afterfx -r test.jsx

 

After Effects successfully launches, but it closes immediately without executing (or evaluating) the referenced script file.  This is what is inside the test.jsx file:

 

alert('Hello from the command line');

 

I tested this on a dedicated Windows machine, as opposed to a VM, and the results with the above command line work as expected--AE launches and evaluates `test.jsx`.  I'm curious if anybody has tried to launch scripts with AE from the command line within a virtual machine as opposed to an actual, dedicated, system that is running AE.  Any ideas as to how I can troubleshoot the issue?

 

Thanks for your time and suggestions!
