4 years ago Hi scholdborg,
Thank you for reporting the issue and sorry for the delay.
I've looked a the issue, seems like the "ssh_wait_timeout" option was recently removed from the vmware-iso provisioner. I was using Packer 1.5.1 without issue, tried the latest version (1.5.5) and i'm getting the same error.
I'll look more into the issue as soon as I have some time.
Hi, I'm trying to run with "packer build -only=vmware-iso debian10.json" but I get this error:
packer build -only=vmware-iso debian10.json vmware-iso: output will be in this color.
1 error occurred:

I have vmware workstation installed, tried running from both Windows10 / Debian10 but same error, works with virtualbox though.
