Hi All,
I am super lost on what my problem is and I have few hints that might give
you an idea where I stand right now.
I have successfully build a packer vmware-iso on Ubuntu 18.04.3 Desktop
version, the trick was open the VMWare Workstation gui after the
installation was completed.
In the other hand in Ubuntu Server I believe I am having problems with the
installation of VMWare Workstation since I am getting issues with the
libraries and such, I have try many of the link I have found online and
nothing seems to fix it
here is the PACKER_LOG=1 output

Also, here are some of the links and steps I have done to try debug the
issue.
https://communities.vmware.com/thread/611127
https://communities.vmware.com/thread/303517
Also I have manually download the library
VMware-vix-disklib-6.7.0-8173251.x86_64.tar.gz and register it in ldconfig
using the following steps
I extracted and appended the folder to an existing config
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf and run ldconfig && updatedb &&
restart the system
Please help, I am desperate and I don't know what else to do.
I appreciate any help in advance.
Thanks
