Using the current master/HEAD, I'm seeing

$ make vmware/win7x64-enterprise

Need more details about your environment. All I've seen is some weirdness with cygwin starting up on the 32-bit platforms. Installs just fine in the build farm (w/VMware Fusion 6.0.2 and Packer 0.6.0): https://box-cutter.ci.cloudbees.com/job/win7-chef/3/console

04:01:17 + make win7
04:01:17 rm -rf output-vmware-iso
04:01:17 mkdir -p box/vmware
04:01:17 packer build -only=vmware-iso -var 'cm=chef' -var 'cm_version=11.12.4' -var "iso_url=file:///Volumes/Storage/MSDN_Chef/win7/en_windows_7_enterprise_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677651.iso" -var "iso_checksum=a491f985dccfb5863f31b728dddbedb2ff4df8d1" win7x64-enterprise.json
04:01:17 vmware-iso output will be in this color.

I think this was my bad, closing.

From Stefan’s comments, it does look like we need to sort out whether or not “config.vm.guest = :windows” is required in the template…and all that other stuff. Awaiting his findings...
