Just use VMware Player for instance https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_workstation_player/12_0

thanks, downloaded and running the player.....i have downloaded tgz file....and unzip using winzip. but when i click on "Open a VM on player, but which file to select to run the expedition VM ?

Tar.gz means the file was compacted with TAR and compressed with GZIP, Maybe you can use a tool like 7zip to unpack and uncompress https://www.7-zip.org/

If you open the VMPlayer and open a Virtual Machine go to the folder and it will show you what file can be opened...
