VMWare Workstation Create Snapshot

I have made a sample build script for VMWare. In the first step I start the virtual machine, in the second step I try to create a snapshot.

Creating a snapshot fails. The error is "file in use by another process". Other actions fail with the same error message, e.g. Suspend, Create Screenshot or Reset.

Visual Build 7.5b
VMWare Workstation 7.1.10.261024
Guest OS: Menuet 64 bit (just for testing purposes because it is small. I will switch to a Windows OS later. It is no problem creating a snapshot of this OS manually or suspending it manually.)

Uncheck the Prevent prompting option on the Options tab of the VMWare Workstation action.

Thank you

It works, thank you.
Create screenshot still does not work, but I assume I need VMWare Tools being installed on the guest OS.
