ESX 3.5 install
I'm running ESX 3.5 with Virtual Center 2.5. I can import an appliance in OVF format but the Assessment tool is OVA. What do I need to do to install the appliance?
Thank you,
Ira

Hi Ira
Thanks for using Quest VDI Assessment solution. when you point to the .ova file, what error mesage does it give you? You can try unzipping the .ova file and use the included .ovf file directly.
Hope this helps

Jasmine,
When I tried to open the OVA file I got
An error occurred while parsing the OVF descriptor: Exception of type "System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
I used 7-Zip to unpack the OVA. I pointed Virtual Center to the OVF file. I got this message
An error occurred while parsing the OVF descriptor: Unable to parse xml element'Envelope'
I also tried installing the appliance using VMware Workstation 7.1.3. I got this error
The OVF descriptor file could not be parsed.
Thank you,
Ira
