When I try to open an OVF virtual machine in VMware Player, I receive an error message. Research suggests that this is because ovftool is supposed to be installed as part of VMware Player, but this has not happened. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. File > Open a Virtual Machine 2. Choose OVF or OVA file 3. Click Import Actual Results: An error message: > Error importing OVF: Could not start import: failed to launch helper process Expected Results: Converted the OVF to a VMware Virtual Machine.
