Hi,
I have created a VM within Workstation 14 Pro and then exported it to an OVF or OVA file. If I then try and import it as a new machine I get the error that it 'did not pass OVF specification conformance or virtual hardware compliance checks', but little else in the way of telling me exactly what failed.
Exporting the VM from VMX to OVF/A via ovftool and then importing results in the same error.
If I tell Workstation to ignore the error, the VM is imported with a Hardware Compatibility of ESXi 6.5. If then export and re-import this VM then I do not get any errors.
The original VM had a hardware compatibility setting of Workstation 14.x and I cannot find any way to downgrade it. Perhaps this is not possible?
Have I run in to a bug, or is there something else I should be doing?
