Failed to open virtual machine: Failed to import "nagiosxi"

[tycischke]

I am trying to set up a Nagiosxi -64 bit server on VmWare player version 7.
I previously tried vmplayer version 12, and got the same result.
I am running Windows 10 on my computer.
I downloaded the 64 bit vmc Nagiosxi file from the website and extracted it.
I downloaded and installed VMware player version 7.
When trying to open a vm i got a popup saying I needed the standalone VmWare converter using client server setting.
I downloaded and installed the WMware converter version 6.
I had to change the HTTP service port from 80 to 81 because 80 was being used by NT kernel and system and I could not stop it.
When I try to open the Nagiosxi -64bit vmc file in VMware player I get the error "Failed to open virtual machine: Failed to import"nagiosxi-64"".
Any help is appreciated.

I noticed you said that you extracted the file. For VMWare, you can directly open the .ova file. Can you please clarify which file you downloaded - was it the .zip or the .ova file from our site?

If it was the .zip, download the .ova file and it should work.

Yup, that would be where I went wrong. Thanks for such a quick reply, I really appreciate it.
