I've made some progress, but still No Joy. 'jeoser' apparently acts, trimming OS packages, depending upon which application packages to be loaded. So I retried build specifying application packages - and got a successful build. VM Guest-OS is still 'other', not CentOS 5.5. Power-on VM results in power-off after 3 or so seconds. Attached files: VMWare Studio verbose log: jeosver2.log VMWare Studio debug log: jeosdbg2.txt VMWare Workstation log for VM power-on: vmware.log The pertinent portion of vmware.log: Apr 27 16:04:23.013: vmx| Msg_Post: Error Apr 27 16:04:23.013: vmx| [msg.guestos.noname] The configuration file does not specify a guest operating system. Apr 27 16:04:23.013: vmx| Please select a guest operating system from the General page on the Options tab of Virtual Machine Settings. Apr 27 16:04:23.013: vmx| ---------------------------------------- Apr 27 16:04:23.013: vmx| Module GuestOS power on failed. Thank you.

What is the difference between 'virtual appliance' and 'vApp'? Reading VMWare documents and extensive googling have not resulted in a clear answer. According to the 'Developer’s Guide to Building vApps and Virtual Appliances', both can contain one or more VMs. But it seems that vApps can only be run in a hypervisor environment, and not a hosted environment. Thank you.
