I cannot get the&nbsp;command&nbsp;"VMWare - List Virtual Machines" to work, it fails with"Error: The operation is not supported  
&nbsp;" and "Action Failed with Return Code : -1".

I am using FB version 7.0.0.1968 and VMWare Workstation 9.0.0 build-812388.

&nbsp;

Is there any configuratuin mistake that I have made?

It seems the List All Virtual Machines option is not supported by VMWare workstation, only the List running vm’s option is supported.
