I'm not ignoring you. It's taking an excruciatingly long time to transfer these VMs to my iMac Pro so I can load them. That one VM is in the queue as I work with the other VMs I've found. Just found out that there might be some VirtualBox VMs around here somewhere too. About to go pleasantly insane... Why no one thought to save the file somewhere else is getting harder to explain, and justify.

A screen shot of the file list.   And: . Windows 7 x64-s013.vmdk ..

The one with a vmx opened fine, and I was able to log into it. The other one did not open, and I got no error either. I will look at the original drive and see what I can find. That one was a rahter large folder, so it's possible it got borked on the copy. So far I have 2. I have a stack of hard drives to look at that probably have a few more VMS on them as well. (I hope) Thanks for your help. So, no .vmx, no go. Got it...

And I'm in to that VM. Figures it's not the one I'm looking for, but you have been a gift from the computer gods. THANK YOU!!! I can now see what other VMs I can find and hopefully get that damned file back.   The one without the vmx file looked like it was selectable, so I'll see that happens. Thank you, thank you!!

First, is there a .vmx file in that virtual machine .vmwarevm bundle folder, along with the other files? No, not that I see. I can check the original files. I do not see a file with that extension.   I see vmem, vmem.lck. vmss, vmdk, nvram, and Apple's .plist extensions on files, no vmx...

Tried that: nothing. The previous reply said 'are all the files there'. I copied them from the hard drive of a computer that had the VMs. I would assume that the files and all they contain are intact. Other than that hope, I have no idea...

It says 'Select the install method', and one selection is 'Import an existing virtual machine'. I would assume that would be where I click that and Continue, and then  Choose file', and select the VM. Except it's grayed out. I can't select it. I assume 'Select installation method' is about the VM that Fusion is supposed to be running. It must not like the 'smell' of these bundles?

Thanks again! Before I installed the trial version, the Vmwarevm files were folders that I could open and browse. Now, post install, they are files that I have to do 'show package contents', so Fusion setup the ability to see them, but when I select 'open existing' in Fusion, they are not showing as available to select. So looks like a dead end, potentially. I don't have that original mac they were used on, sadly. (It died) Are there any utilities for dealing with older VMs? Will Player open them? Is there access to older versions of Fusion to try one of them? I'd really like to get a file out of the VM, and I potentially have more VMs to search...
