Thanks for your reply. This is a part of the automated development process to build OVA using Packer. When I use Packer on the host Windows it stuck on building vmx file. Nothing happens afterward, it's just hanging at this step. ==> vmware-iso: Configuring output and export directories... ==> vmware-iso: Creating required virtual machine disks ==> vmware-iso: Building and writing VMX file and I think this response is probably the case for that: If you're running packer on a corporate machine, you may have a security suite installed that interferes with vmrun and prevents it from returning. and I don't have any kind of administration over Antivirus tools on windows to disable it. So, I ended up using WSL2 to solve this issue.

Hello, I have a VMware workstation installed on Windows 10 whose license works well. I’m trying to access the binary files through WSL2 (Ubuntu 20.4). So, I created symbolic links to those VMware executable files (e.g. “/mnt/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/VMware/VMware\ Workstation/vmware.exe”). The mounted files work, but getting this error that “VMware Workstation does not appear to be licensed. Please license it.” I’m wondering if there’s a way that I can use those licensed executables on the Windows host from WSL. If not, shall I request a separate VMware software with a license to install on WSL Ubuntu? Thanks, Ali
