In Workstation Player, select Player > File > Open.
Browse to the .ovf or .ova file and click Open.
Type a name for the virtual machine, type or browse to the directory for the virtual machine files, and click Import.
Workstation Player performs OVF specification conformance and virtual hardware compliance checks. A status bar indicates the progress of the import process.
If the import fails, click Retry to try again, or click Cancel to cancel the import.
If you retry the import, Workstation Player relaxes the OVF specification conformance and virtual hardware compliance checks and you might not be able to use the virtual machine in Workstation Player.
