How to use HashiCorp Packer with the VMWare plugin and vmware-iso Builder to Create an VMWare ISO?

Question

I just recently started using HashiCorp Packer and I am interested in creating some VMs, specifically ones that are made for VMWare. I did some searching and found that there are two VMWare plugins, which are VMware and vSphere. The VMware plugin has a builder named vmware-iso, which create an iso locally and the vSphere plugin has a builder named vsphere-iso, which builds a virtual machine image on a vSphere cluster or an ESXi. I am currently interested in getting the vmware-iso to work.

When I run the packer build command, I am getting the error:

vmware-iso.ubuntu: error starting virtual machine: VMware error: Warning: program compiled against libxml 212 using older 209

How do I get the vmware-iso builder to work?

I have installed packer v1.11.2, the VMWare plugin v1.1.0, and the free version of VMware Workstation Pro 17.6.1 build-24319023 on my Rocky Linux 9.5 machine.
