I try filling its dialog box out, then shutting down and relaunching the VM. No log file is being generated in the directory that I set.

Thanks for reporting this issue! I briefly looked at the logic for TraceAssist and see some areas that can use improvement. If I have some time this weekend I'll see if I can put together some fixes that will address your issue.

This issue has been fixed in 2023.0. There were two problems:

  1. If the process in which kdclient.dll was loaded in was a run as different user than vmmon64.exe, then the TraceAssist configuration would never get properly loaded. This can happen because vmmon64.exe is elevated and vmware-vmx.exe is not.

  2. The kdclient.dll module incorrectly accessed the TraceAssist configuration which would lead to it getting erased.

Thanks again for reporting this.
