VMware workstation 12 usb.autoconnect

Apparently you can get a usb device to autoconnect upon startup. I have attempted this by adding the following line to the vmx file:

usb.autoConnect.device0 = "vid:0bda pid:8152 autoclean:0"

When i start the VM, it comes up with an error that it can't open the VM. As soon as i remove the new line i added, it works fine.

Therefore is this autoconnect functionality not supported with workstation pro?
