yes, I have tried that many times.

I feel as though I have done something wrong in the setup but i have deleted and retried the setup verbatim about 3 times with no joy.

I am using the iso. However, I am using the instruction on the set up so I import the ova and then use the iso for the disk.

@haigroup if you use the OVA here https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/minemeld-dist/0_9/minemeld-vm-0.9.5.ova you don't need the ISO. Just load the MM OVA on VMWare Workstation/Dekstop and launch it.

Hi,

I am running VMWare Desktop and have the MineMeld-VM-0.9.5.OVA file on the hard drive. The VM doesn't recognize the OVA file. What program did you use to Run the OVA file?

Have you tryed renaming the image file to .ovf? There are some desktop releases that can't read .ova files but that accept them when provided with the .ovf extension.
