I asked for a refund of the VMWare plugin the same day I purchased it, over a week ago and have received no response. It doesn't work reliably compared to the virtualbox one and requires windowsesque multiple restarts to make it work at all.
- mitchellh 13y agoI'm sorry about that. I just completed this for you. :)
- modernerd 13y agoA counterpoint for anyone reading this who is considering the paid VMWare plugin: it works flawlessly for me. On my MacBook Pro with Mavericks, it uses less CPU than my VirtualBox Vagrant boxes and feels snappier overall (boxes start and stop faster, Apache/nginx feel quicker, shared file updates are fast). It was definitely worth the money for me – not having to deal with flaky Mavericks support in VirtualBox alone is worth the price. For anyone building their own VMWare boxes with Packer and Fusion, note that there's a known issue with shared folders in the current version of VMWare Tools (6.0.2). The workaround is to download Fusion Tools version 6.0.1 and install that instead, as mentioned here: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/462543 https://communities.vmware.com/thread/462543 Here's a shell script to automate that under Ubuntu if you need to: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c641a4b0c4ef7b45f07e https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c641a4b0c4ef7b45f07e
