Vagrant desktop provider with VMWare WorkStation Pro trial

Hi,

        Can I use the trial version to bring up a vagrant machine ? I am exploring some options. This didn't work. Guest OS is WIndows 10.

C:\VMware>vagrant up --provider vmware_workstation

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'vmware_workstation' provider...

==> default: Checking if box 'hashicorp/precise64' version '1.1.0' is up to date...

==> default: Verifying vmnet devices are healthy...

==> default: Preparing network adapters...

==> default: Starting the VMware VM...

An error occurred while executing `vmrun`, a utility for controlling

VMware machines. The command and output are below:

Command: ["start", "C:\\VMware\\.vagrant\\machines\\default\\vmware_workstation\\cb10593f-e702-43d8-b354-7f6db1e7c172\\precise64.vmx", "nogui", {:notify=>[:stdout, :stderr], :timeout=>45}]

Stdout: Error: Unknown error

Thanks,

Mohan

What do you know about the vagrant machine? I see the error indicates 'NOGUI', so I would wonder if it was set up as a headless machine, using SSH or remote access only? You may need to edit the machine settings for graphics mode, or be prepared to run it headless, and access it using one of those methods.
