If you do not specify a log file, vmware-kvm.exe generates a log file in the %TEMP% folder .
Setting a log file is not required.
Procedure
1 Open the %APPDATA%\VMware\config.ini file in a text editor.
2 Add vmkvm.log.filename = "C:\filepath\vmkvm.log" to the file, where filepath is a fully
qualified file path to the desired location for the log file.
For example, vmkvm.log.filename = "C:\Users\Default\vmkvm.log".
