Hi,
I am on a windows 7 laptop, and I am trying to build a Ubuntu 16.04 image
using the vmware-vmx builder. I have VMware workstation installed on my
laptop. Whenever I run packer build command, it copies the vmx and spins up
a VM, but it fails to build the image because it times out waiting for ssh
to be available. What's really weird is that while its waiting for ssh to
be available, I can use Putty to ssh into the VM. Can someone please help?
I have openssh installed on the Ubuntu VM, and I configured to run at
startup using 'sudo systemctl enable ssh
I have configured the VM for a bridged network connection. Below is my
ubuntu.json file and command output

vmware-vmx output will be in this color.
