You'll need to download and install VMware Converter Standalone if haven't already got it installed (its free). The local installation will suffice (client-server not require). Its possible that you could get away with using the inbuilt vCentre version as long as you're not trying to import a v7 VM on ESX4 to a v4 VM on ESX3 (which you probably are!). | You'll need to download and install VMware Converter Standalone if haven't already got it installed (its free).
