Hello,
Im looking to do what I consider a fairly vanilla task in packer but i'm
getting a error message that is not very helpful.
Basically what i'm trying to do is build a VM and upload it to ESXi. Im
vcenter 6.5 update 1 if that plays into it. From ESXi it looks like it
doesn't even try to upload. It appears that the build goes through fine
but when it gets to the post-processor I get:

download needed:
