I only find a Appliance for VirtualServer and not for VMWare on the related link ...

When I try to "Download this appliance" I get this error:

The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see this message when trying to access this download, go to the "Search for a Download" area on the Download Center home page.

Could somebody please fix the link

Did you try with IE?

could download the File, but can neither convert it with Converter 3.0 nor open in VMWare Server. Did MS change the image, so it's no more usable in Vmware?

Hi,

I'm using vmware-server 1.0.3 - linux tar.gz version - and it doesn't recognize the format.

What must I do to make it work?

Thank you.

Hi all,

I just install VMware server 1.0.3 in Windows XP (english).
And download the "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition VHD" from Microsoft. As the vmware website say that it can open this Windows 2003 server with vmc file, I just do what they say.

However, when I open the vmc (WS03R2EE.vmc ), it fails to import the VM and display the error "the WS03R2EE.vmc cannot be opened".

Please help. What should I do to make it work? Thanks.

Additional info: The machine I was using to run Converter3 was having problems when I first posted that info. Converter3.0.1 did work correctly on MS Win2k3 appliances. But you must use Converter3 or Workstation6, which uses Converter3. The importer built in to Server 1.x does NOT import the VHDs correctly.

Happens sometimes. Hot clone works more often than a cold clone. Run the VHD inside of MS VPC or VS and install Converter inside of that. Then run Converter in the VM.
