Procedure

  1. Download the latest version of QEMU from http://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64/.
  2. Install QEMU with the default settings.
  3. Open a Command Prompt window (cmd.exe) using an account with administrator privileges.
  4. Convert the Virtual Machine Disk (*.vmdk) by typing the following command:
    qemu-img.exe convert [-f fmt] [-O output_fmt] filename output_filename.
    For example:
    "C:\Program Files\qemu\qemu-img.exe" convert -f vmdk -O vmdk 
    C:\ESX_xpsp3en_offices_noab.vmdk C:\ESX_xpsp3en_offices_noab_converted.vmdk
The *.vmdk file can be used to create an OVA file using VirtualBox.
