Summary0000981: kali-linux-1.0.6-vm-amd64 VM will not play in VMware Workstation 9.0.2
Description

Not sure if this the right place to report this, but I downloaded the Kali Linux VMware image for 1.0.6 amd64 and attempted to load it in Workstation 9.0.2.

VMware displayed a dialog indicating that the configuration in the vmx file was incompatible with the version of workstation I was using.

I double checked the sha1 of the 7z file I downloaded and it matched the sha1hash value listed on http://www.offensive-security.com/kali-llnux-vmware-arm-image-download/

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Download kali-linux-1.0.6-vm-amd64.7z from http://www.offensive-security.com/kali-llnux-vmware-arm-image-download/

  2. Extract and open the vmx file with VMware Workstation 9.0.2

  3. Attempt to power on the virtual machine

  4. Get presented with the error dialog

Additional Information

I realize that OffSec are the ones responsible for the Kali VMware images, but didn't know of a way to get this kind of bug to them. I apologize if this is the wrong place to report this bug.
