The unexpected entry in a build log is evident when using the Distributing Releases to a Virtual Machine using workstation that InstallShield Provisions at Build Time or on Demand.

This error is not written to the build log when distributing to a virtual on an ESXi server rather than in Workstation.

The virtual is expected to be using Server Authentication. Use the Edit Virtual Machine Configurations dialog box to configure virtual machine settings that you want to use when distributing successfully built releases to VMs at build time or on demand. Behavior exists on VMware Workstation 8.x through 11.

Please note Flexera no longer supports VMWare Workstation versions less than what VMWare supports. Reference the VMWare matrix link below for detail.

Resolution

This is a known issue and expected to be addressed in a later InstallShield release.

The build is able to copy the build output to the virtual machine however the build output log contains the unexpected error message.
