I've received an .OVA file and I need to be aple to open/parse it.

When I try to open it with VMware player, I get the following error:

"Failed to open virtual machine: Failed to query source for information."

When I try to open it with the Converter standalone client I get:

"Unable to parse the OVF file"

The extension can be OVF or OVA so I did choose the right file tipe from the open file dialog.

If anyone had similar experience and solved it, please let me know. Thanks.
