Installing the VMware Tools fails with an unhelpful message if darwin.iso is missing:

$ sudo macinbox
• Creating image from installer...
  + Checking macOS versions...
  + Creating and attaching a new blank disk image...
  + Installing macOS...
    - installer: 100% done
  + Installing the VMware Tools...
    - Error: hdiutil failed with non-zero exit code: 256
• Cleaning up...

At the very least the message needs to tell you the tools are not present. An even better user experience would be for the macinbox tool to download the tools itself.
