Hi Viet Yen, some more info. Gianni (in cc:) had ovf tools installed. He gets the following error, by the running the command fro the terminal: Opening OVA source: compass-vm-2.3.ova Opening VMX target: VM/ Error: OVF Package is not supported by target: - Line 37: Unsupported hardware family 'virtualbox-2.2'.

Hello Marco,
I created and ran the images with VirtualBox (which is a free download).
Specification-wise, they should work on VMWare, but I haven't tested that. I'll look into it.
Ok, thanks for looking into this.
I think it would be nice if the VM we distribute is compatible with VMWare as well, because we have a user base using it (e.g., Regis). Besides, the COMPASS website speaks about a VMWare image.

Dear Viet Yen, all,
we have tried to open the latest COMPASS virtual machine with VMWare player (we have version 6 installed). When trying to import from .ova format, either nothing happens, or the following window pops up:

and then, after cliking 'retry':

Can you give some advice about how to run the virtual machine? Do we need to install any additional packages (ovf tool)? Did you succeed in unpacking it on your side?
Best regards,
Marco
