"VMWare Tools power-on script did not run successfully" error after VM power on #2

If you open the CSR 1000V virtual machine console during deployment (by selecting File -> Open in VMWare Fusion and opening the virtual machine), you will experience the following error every time the virtual machine boots:

vmware tools power-on script error

If you do not acknowledge this error in a timely fashion, the deployment process may fail or the virtual machine may crash.

To prevent this issue, the role starts the virtual machine in headless mode, which will not prompt the user about the error. However opening the virtual machine console will cause the user to be prompted about the error, therefore you should avoid opening the console during virtual machine deployment/boot up.
