Dear Massimo, I discussed this internally with the Consortium. I am not able to reproduce the problem, since on my Windows laptop I can run the compass 2.3 VM using VMWare 6.0.3. The VM is 32-bit, so your target PC Operating System should be OK. Could you first double check that the VM was correctly downloaded and unpacked? If so, the only other suggestion we have is to try a different client, e.g. Virtualbox (https://www.virtualbox.org/) and use the .ovf format in the distribution. I hope this helps, Marco On 06/11/2015 08:43 AM, Massimo Tipaldi (CGS) wrote:

Dear Sir or Madan,

I have tried to install the pre-configured virtual machine on VMware.

I have downloaded VMware from the following link:

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/6_0|PLAYER-606|product_downloads <https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/6_0%7CPLAYER-606%7Cproduct_downloads>

My PC has Windows7/32 bits.

After starting the VM and then the comapss toolset, I have got the following message: "The configuration file "C:\Users\mtipaldi\Documents\Virtual Machines\compass-vm-2.3\compass-vm-2.3.vmx" was created by a VMware product that is incompatible with this version of VMware Player and cannot be used."

Can you support me and give an indication on how to solve such inconsistency

Best regards,
