Hi,
When i run the command ./packer build -var-file=myenv_conf.json vmware/local/centos_base.json. I get the following error.
==> pnda_template_base: Downloading or copying ISO

Can anyone help me on this. I'm attaching the log file.

And what do you see if you set headless: false ?

You should run with headless false, and add the flag - on-error=ask to your command line. Then you can look in the VM console what is going wrong.
If you are new to packer I recommend that you start with a known working template and adjust it to your needs.
