Thank you for the module. Seems promising!

Some of the commands do not work on my MacOS + VMware Fusion machine.

Version:

PS /Users/jan/Devel/Powershell> Get-Module vmxtoolkit

Where should be the $vmrun varibale set? I cannot find the place.

what version of fusion are you on ? need to validate the latest version (s)

the vmrun path is $GLOBAL:vmrun and will be evaluated with other variables during module initialization from vmxtoolkitinit.ps1:

            $VMware_Path = mdfind -onlyin /Applications "VMware Fusion"                
            $Global:vmwarepath = $VMware_Path
            [version]$Fusion_Version = defaults read $VMware_Path/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleShortVersionString
            $VMware_BIN_Path = Join-Path $VMware_Path  '/Contents/Library'
            $preferences_file = "$HOME/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/preferences"
            $Global:VMware_vdiskmanager = Join-Path $VMware_BIN_Path 'vmware-vdiskmanager'
            $Global:vmrun = Join-Path $VMware_BIN_Path "vmrun"

can you run the commands with -verbose option ?
