Virtual box machine not working
Below is the what see as the content of the virtual box zip file. I expect a .vbox file as well which does not seem to be there in the zip file. Any idea if the zip file on the course is corrupted or incorrect ?

Sudripta,
No worries.
Herewith I confirm I've downloaded the exercise system from the Pega Decision Management Advanced (7.1) course.
- Please make sure you use 7-zip or Keka to unpack Marketing_712_VM_20160223.zip
- After unpacking you get a folder with two files:
- Pega Marketing Enablement 7.12 ML7 - 20160317-disk1.vmdk
- Pega Marketing Enablement 7.12 ML7 - 20160317.vbox
- Double click on the VBOX file to launch VirtualBox

Sudripta,
Thanks a lot for your post.
Just downloaded the Pega Marketing 7.12 exercise system again and it works fine for me.

Hi Marco,
Can you confirm if you downloaded the VM from the Pega Decisioning Advanced Course ? The zip file names you have pasted doesn't match the one I am getting when I download it.
To be pricise, the course I am downloading it from is Titled - 'Pega Decision Management Advanced (7.1)'

Sudripta,
Hope you don't mind me asking, why are you taking the old v7.1 version and not the latest version of Pega Decision Management Essentials (7.13)?

My apologies Marco for the confusion. For Decision Management essentials course I did use v7.13 and did not have any issues. In previous reply I meant to say 'Pega Decision Management Advanced (7.1)', not the "...Essentials" course.
So yes, issue I am facing is with the 'Pega Decision Management Advanced (7.1)' VM.

Hi Marco,
Thanks. I might have now downloaded the zip file now at least 4 times and did it this morning as well with the same result i.e vbox file missing. So I am purely guessing that it could be an issue with the server/mirror location from which the download occurs for my location (Melbourne, Australia). I don't think its an issue with my laptop as the download shows as completed successfully (from both chrome & firefox). I'll try to find someone amongst my colleagues and see if someone had a properly downloaded copy of the VM and take it from them. Thanks for your help..
By the way, here's the exact size of the zip file (without the vbox file in it) which gets downloaded to my laptop. I presume you would have a larger size as you have the vbox file as well. Below screenshot is from the windows zip file properties.

Sudripta,
I'm very sorry to hear that.
The file size seems okay. Before I share an alternative download link, please share with us the results of the 7-zip archive test.
How-to: right-click on the archive, select 7-zip, select Test archive.
