Export ESXi VM to VMware Workstation

Hi, all. 

I'm trying to export as a OVF a Windows VM hosted on ESXi (I've tried using vCente and OVF Tool), but when I import this VM on VMware Workstation, I've got a error message "No compatible bootloader found" related to Virtual SCSI Drive 0:0. The original VM on ESXi is working normally. Could you help me, please?

With best regards.

What version of VMware Workstation do you use?
What Guest OS is?

Try to choose Windows version x64 as Guest operating system  in Virtual machine settings in Workstation.

Can you share more information about esxi version, workstation version and hardware components of the VM (disk type, OS, ...etc) ?

Problem solved. 

The VM was exported with the Guest OS option "Other". I've changed to Windows 2019, it's working now. 

Thank you all.
