Couldnt find VMWARE tools for linux

[ba...@rtbrick.com]

Hi All,

I am getting the following error when i am trying to generate vmware image using packer

vmware-iso output will be in this color.

Build 'vmware-iso' errored: Couldn't find VMware tools for 'linux'! VMware often downloads these
tools on-demand. However, to do this, you need to create a fake VM
of the proper type then click the 'install tools' option in the
VMware GUI.

==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:
--> vmware-iso: Couldn't find VMware tools for 'linux'! VMware often downloads these
tools on-demand. However, to do this, you need to create a fake VM
of the proper type then click the 'install tools' option in the

==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.


Any ideas?

What is your template and what host os and VMware version are you running?
