Hi,

I am using packer to build Alpine Linux on ESXi 6.5 from macOS 10.13 and 
everything is working great except for one thing. It throws the following 
error:

"Build 'vmware' errored: Couldn't mount VMware tools ISO. Please check the 
'guest_os_type' in your template.json."

I am using a value of "guest_os_type": "otherlinux-64",

Which in my case is fine since I am using open-vm-tools. But this exits 
non-gracefully and therefore I can't use post provisioners. 

Is there a way to skip mounting the tools and exit gracefully? At least it 
exits and still exports the OVA so I get a working build out of the process.


Thanks for the help.
