Hello,

Just want to check packer support/compatibility with vmware workstation 12 player?
I'm getting:

packer build btp-vmware.json
vmware-iso output will be in this color.

Build 'vmware-iso' errored: Failed creating VMware driver: Unable to initialize
any driver for this platform. The errors
from each driver are shown below. Please fix at least one driver
to continue:
* VMware application not found:
* VMware application not found:
* 'vmrun' application not found:
* 'vmrun' application not found:


==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:
--> vmware-iso: Failed creating VMware driver: Unable to initialize any driver f
or this platform. The errors
from each driver are shown below. Please fix at least one driver
to continue:
* VMware application not found:
* VMware application not found:
* 'vmrun' application not found:
* 'vmrun' application not found:


==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.

It seems that it can't find/detect VMWare, probably this version is not yet supported?

Thanks,

jerico

Do you have the vagrant-vmware-workstation plugin purchased and installed? You will need the latest version to use the latest Workstation versions.
