Update virtualbox fails about docker-windows-box HOT 7 CLOSED

I use the command to use an existing image (iso) and now I get an immediate error from Fusion that /dev/vmmon could not be found. And when I try to start up Fusion I get a file not found error/dialog box. Given I already have an iso file is there something that I can tell the Fusion support people that packer does so that I can isolate the problem to Fusion?

OK VMWare says that I should be using 8.5.5 instead of the latest. But now I am getting an error on reading the license key. What is the variable that I need to set for the license key?

from docker-windows-box.

I got past the license key issue but now it seems something has changed with the version of Fusion that I am running (8.5.5). I get a dialog box that until I click either OK or Cancel the installation/build process does not continue. I have attached a screenshot of the message that I am seeing.

But if I click on the OK or Cancel button it seems that I get into a infinite loop on the packer build process continually printing out:
vmware-iso: Running
vmware-iso: Running

Should I just be patient?

Thank you.

@colmprunty I'll try a virtualbox buuld on Windows today to check if I can reproduce your problem.
@KevinBurton The dialog is only that VMware tools have recognized the HiDPI/Retina display. Just leave it. The final Vagrant box normally boots with Retina enabled.

@colmprunty Today I rebuilt a VirtualBox VM on a Windows 7 host, using VirtualBox 5.1.20, packer 1.0.0 and the latest changes in my packer-windows repo. It also installs the 5.1.20 guest additions.

Thanks Stefan, I'll try and spin it up this week if I get a chance and report back.

I'm closing this one as I expect everything works fine :-)
