Player doen't want run OVF

[TiborMarchyn]

Hi,

I have exported virtual appliance from ESX 3.5 to OVF. I want open this file in vmware Player 2.5.2 but everytime when I open it, player is working but about 5 seconds it hide welcome screen where is Open button and show me menu on top side of window but i cannot start this virtual machine.

Is there any problem with exporting virtual machines to OVF and open it with player?

thank you

I am facing a similar problem. I created OVF of an existing VM. The existing VM still runs on the vmplayer but the ovf file does not start anything. My vmplayer is installed on Window XP. I dont even know how to debug it. VMplayer does not even generate any logs or gives any error message.

Any help?

I have the same problem. Does anyone know how to solve it?

How do you get it to even read an OVF ?

I am running Fedora 11 with VMware Player 2.5.3. When I try to "Open and Existing Virtual Machine" the accepted file format is *.vmx only. There is no option for *.ovf.

What am I missing?

Thank you,

Chris
