In order to register a new virtual machine the ESX driver needs to upload a VMX file to a datastore. Try to put this file beside the main VMDK file of the virtual machine. Change the disk selection for datastore detection to choose the first file-based harddisk instead of just the first disk. The first disk may be a CDROM disk and ISO images are normaly not located in the virtual machine's directory.
Is there anything you can do in the case of a VM without any disks besides reporting the error ? It might be needed if someone creates a disk-less VM - eg so they can use iSCSI or NFS based root filesystem
The current domain XML format has no place to specify where to put the VMX file, so I try to deduce the path from the disk file paths. Yes this doesn't work for disk-less VM's. One could add a new element to the domain XML that specifies the datastore path for the VMX file. Matthias
