Packer with vmware workstation windows guest installtion stuck after loading iso

[Automationbuilder360 Builder]

Hi All,

Am using packer with vmware workstaiton, 

I have tested my custom iso, which is customized to "NOT to ask" for any input once attached as iso.

was able to create VM on vmware workstation when attached manually. ( not even hitting enter )

but when i try using packer, once the iso is attached its not going any futher. i have tested using "Headless - Flase"

Enabled "ask on error" i see from the vmware workstation console that VM is getting created loading files and stuck after that.

any help is much appericiated

you could compare the hw on vm that works and what packer creates by default

could be hdd or controller type, or bios/uefi

Hi Alvaro,

Thank you for the comments.

I have verifed the firmware type on both scenarios both are using BIOS as firmware.

and the network type as NAT. and i have also verified couple of other settings which seems to be exactly the same.

BTW below are the details i have used in the vmware-iso builder

    "vmx_data": {

"cpuid.coresPerSocket": "1",

"memsize": "4096",

"numvcpus": "1",

"scsi0.virtualDev": "lsisas1068"

},

    "tools_upload_flavor": "windows",

    "communicator": "winrm",

    "headless": "false",
