That's actually the expected behavior. The vmware.log file is in use while the VM is powered on.

Then you were lucky and hit a spot where the file was temporarily unlocked.

Andre - I have a quite different experience - I very often download a vmware.log while the VM is running - in most of the cases that works for me
