How to open VMDK file

Question

I've downloaded the OpenbravoEFP zip file for windows from sourceforge. After extracting the file I've found two files (i) openbravo-3-i386.vmx and (ii) openbravo-3-i386.vmdk. How can I install the software with these files ? Have I downloaded wrong files. I want to run the software in windows XP.

Please help.

Answer 1

Openbravo supports VirtualBox appliance(.vmdk) and VMplayer appliance(.vmx)

Launch VMware appliance

1. Install and Run VM Player.
2. Click on File -> Open Virtual Machine and select the vmx file you have uncompressed.
3. After boot you can login in the testing appliance

Answer 2

VDMK are image files for a virtual machine, like VMware. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMDK

So you could use that image to run it on a simulated computer instance on your host machine and try it out there.
