This worked like a charm! Thanks for sharing this simple fix!

Thank you very much for this post.

It's saved me a lot of work on the root cause.

Thanks venereo. It fixed the issues for me.

I experienced the same issue recently.  In order to correct the problem, which has been tested thoroughly, upgrade the host with the ESXI update 2 binaries, then apply the ESXi670-201906002 fix.  This should bring the build of the VMware ESXi host to 13981272

Same problem, Google brought me here.  Trying to import the Photon 3.0 VM into an ESXi 6.7U2 host, same error message.  Tried installing esxui-signed-12086396.vib, and it takes quite awhile to get installed...  Problem solved.  Anyone know how soon VMWare might get this fixed?

Same problem, client v1.33.3, ESXi 6.7.0. After applaying .vib (downgrade to v1.33.1) OVF import works again!

Thanks venereo.

Hi,

you can use vCenter Converter to create the VM starting from the .vmdk file (ovftools)

Hi ,

Had the same problem. However pressed escape when i got the error, and that showed the finish button. So click finish to import the OVA file.

I was able to successfully import.

Thanks.

You can run the following commands to upgrade to the latest code. This will resolve the bug.

esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient

esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.7.0-20190604001-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml

esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e false -r httpClient

reboot

Hello. just upgraded to ESXi 6.7 U3, the issue is gone!

In case anyone reading this is trying the "hit the Escape button when you get the error" workaround but it's not working for you, note that you have to click the "Details" button in the error pop-up, then hit the Esc key after the Details dialog pops up.

This simple solution worked for me.Thank you.

[Mohaghello]

Thanks worked for me too!
