I am running into the same issue with PS that I ran into with CMD. Any ideas?
vprobeLoad: error: EOF while looking for ')'
vprobeLoad: 0 warnings, 1 errors*

The cmd command tool on Windows permits nesting of like‐type quotes only, either single or double quotes
but not both, so the above vmrun command produces the error message “unknown ident windows” and fails.
You probably want to install Cygwin so you can run VP scripts in a standard bash shell.
