Getting error while opening the OVA file from VMWare . I have extracted the zip file and was trying to open from the VM Player.Let me know if it is issue with the downloaded zip file.

Please review the VM User Guide for details on how to successfully download the VM.
An .ova is a single file that should not be extracted - unzipped. You import the .ova file as-is into VMware Player. The VM User Guide has the details you need.
Let me know how you get along.

Hi Eddy,
Thanks for your reply.

The VM file you download is not a .zip file. The file type is .ova.
And, remember, there is nothing to extract. You import the .ova file to VMware. If you do attempt to extract the archive, you will only see a .ovf file and a .vmdk file. Neither of those files can be used to run the VM.
Again, when you download the VM file, ensure you save the file with the extension of .ova

yes, you need to change the type. If you are unsure how to change the file type, please see the VM User Guide for the necessary details.

I have the same question, where I am trying to "import" the virtual machine into vmware player and getting an error saying that the .ovf file does not match the manifest. Please let me know how to fix this. Thank you!

Hi Eddie,
Thanks a lot for quick responses. saved the file now to ova type and still it was unable to open from VMware player.
Downloaded the oracle VM virtual box and tried importing the file there and it worked.
Thanks a lot
