You need to have VMware Workstation/Fusion installed with the listed tools on the PATH.

What OS do you run, which version of VMware do you run, where is it installed and what's your PATH.

Hi ,

After installed Drivers now im getting below error.

==> vmware-iso: Building and writing VMX file

2019/01/30 16:29:38 ui error: ==> vmware-iso: Could not find netmap conf file: /etc/vmware/netmap.conf

==> vmware-iso: Could not find netmap conf file: /etc/vmware/netmap.conf

I think this file is created if you launch a VM manually from the GUI. Ensure that you have the latest version (1.3.3) of Packer since there have been some bug fixes around finding this file.
