Appliance Import Wizard fails to looking in correct directory when importing .vmdk file

[half12]

Hi,

After installing VirtualBox v3.2.6 on Windows 7 and Solaris 10 u5 I notice there is a problem with importing the same virtual InfoBlox VM5 and VM25 appliances

When importing the VM5 and VM25 appliances on Solaris, the Virtual Appliance Import Wizard you browse to the directory where the nios-5.1r1-1-92447-2010-05-23-00-54-57-VN-5.ovf and nios-5.1r1-1-92447-2010-05-23-00-54-57-VN-disk1.vmdk files are located; then select the nios-5.1r1-1-92447-2010-05-23-00-54-57-VN-5.ovf and import. The Import wizard imports both files and creates a new Virtual Machine correctly.

When importing the same virtual appliance on Windows with the Virtual Appliance Wizard, you select the nios-5.1r1-1-92447-2010-05-23-00-54-57-VN-5.ovf file but then it can not import the nios-5.1r1-1-92447-2010-05-23-00-54-57-VN-disk1.vmdk file because it is looking in the VirtualBox HardDisk directory (searching the destination directory it is going to be copied to instead of the importing directory) so the import fails.

I have included the Virtual Appliance and a copy of the VBox.log from the Solaris 10 host as the Virtual Appliance stops with a fatal error soon after booting.

I can add the Virtual Appliance but it is 181Mb, is there an option for uploading a file of this size.

Might be fixed in the meantime. Please try with a recent release of VBox and reopen if necessary.
