OVA to OVF

We are trying to convert an OVA file to a OVF file to deploy.

We are using OVFTools 4.0.0

When we run the conversion it will get to 99% and then error out.

Saying:

"Transfer failed

Error: Failed to decompress files

Completed with errors"

Not finding anything in the forums or the web on this issue.

An OVA is really just a renamed ZIP file that contains the OVF files, VMDK disks, and others. Just rename OVA to ZIP and open it with a decompression tool of your choice.
