Hi,
The VM folder in the support bundle where info about your guest is supposed to be is completely empty. Not sure what happened there.
So I’m afraid the support bundle doesn’t help, as far as I’m concerned you can remove that file again (use the “edit” option on the forum)
The next step I would normally do is to verify if the virtual disks that are referred to in the vmx actually exists.
In your case there should be a:
Windows 7 x64-000013.vmdk
and
Windows 7 x64-0-000013.vmdk
and
Windows 7 x64-1-000012.vmdk
if ALL disks existed before you created your snapshots then it is a bit strange that one disk has a different suffix number, but without seeing the full snapshot chain that is difficult to say.
You can test the snapshots chains for the above files by running them via vmware-vdiskmanager while in the Virtual Machine folder.
Eg;
C:Program Files (x86)VMwareVMware Workstation>vmware-vdiskmanager -e "Windows 7 x64-000013.vmdk"
Repeat that for the other 2 files.
Then you can also verify your disks using the -R option.
See the following link for a printout of the help (or run the command without options)
http://www.vi-toolkit.com/wiki/index.php/Vmware-vdiskmanager
IMPORTANT: Before you apply ANY more rescue, troubleshooting steps do make a FULL copy of the virtual machine folder to another -preferably external- disk.
That way even if you end up making a mistake your data will still be there, albeit in another disk.

I’m pretty new to using vmware virtualization (been a virtualbox user) so I’m hoping you guys can help me out. I recently got an external usb disk containing a vm for a client, downloaded vmplayer, set it up with “Open a Virtual Machine”, ran it, easy as pie.
After working with it a bit this morning, I shut the VM down and now trying to start it back up again I get this:
I tried removing the vm from my library, now it happens whenever I try to add it back in. In the meantime, I can still access other virtual machines so it seems like the problem might be with the virtual disk.
So two questions:
- This is obviously not a very helpful error message. Where can I go to get more information? My Application EventLog doesn’t contain anything from VMWare.
- What steps can I take to fix the problem?
Edit: A couple more pieces of information.
- I did not take any snapshots. I don’t think VM Player even has that ability.
- I have a zip file of (what I assume) is the state of the VM when it was sent to me. I cannot unzip it as it is huge and simply requires more HD space than I have available but I did extract the vmx file and examine it. Other than the UUIDs and the fact that mine reads
cleanShutdown = "FALSE"they are identical. -
The log contains the following lines
Jun 23 10:11:18.080: vmx| SNAPSHOT: SnapshotConfigInfoRead: Unable to load dict from ‘E:….MachineName.vmsd’.
Jun 23 10:11:18.080: vmx| SNAPSHOT: SnapshotConfigInfoRead failed for file ‘E:….MachineName.vmx’: Dictionary problem (6)
Jun 23 10:11:18.082: vmx| SNAPSHOT: Snapshot_TimeStampTiers failed: Dictionary problem (6)

For the record I got this fixed by taking backups of my caches directory, vmsd, vmxf, vmx, nvram files and copying them over the files that I had. I guess some of them had been corrupted.

Try at first load your virtual machine without any physical discs.
Then try to add it in VM->Settings->Add->Hard Disk->SCSI->Use physical disk->PhysicalDrive (your number, take a look at Disk management).
I had same problem, and solved it by adding physical disks on a loaded VM.
