VMWare OVA file

vmware-player

I've received an .OVA file and I need to be aple to open/parse it.

When I try to open it with VMware player, I get the following error:

"Failed to open virtual machine: Failed to query source for information."

When I try to open it with the Converter standalone client I get:

"Unable to parse the OVF file"

The extension can be OVF or OVA so I did choose the right file tipe from the open file dialog.

If anyone had similar experience and solved it, please let me know. Thanks.

Have you tried unzipping the .OVA into an .OVF?
