I've tested it to work on VMWare Workstation, are you using Player?

[grokgrok]

Yes. Is that the issue?

[ColdHeat]

VMware Player doesn't have the vmrun binary which is required for mech to work.

[ColdHeat]

You'll need to be using VMWare Workstation on Windows, there's unfortunately not a way around it.
