Using the bento-master templates I can successfully create VirtualBox VMs
but I'm getting an error with VMWare.
I installed:
VMware-Player
VMwareVIX
QEMU
I created a virtual machine with VMware-Player and installed VMware Tools
but now I am stuck on this error. Any pointers are much appreciated.
The output I am seeing:
[newzr@newgw189 bento-master]$ packer build vmware-centos-7.2-x86_64.json
vmware-iso output will be in this color.

My vmware-centos.json which is just the bento-master with virtual-box,
parallels, and vagrant removed:
[newzr@newgw189 bento-master]$ cat vmware-centos-7.2-x86_64.json
