WinXP - VMWare convert with ovf tool to VBox - crash on Import

[HH-TFI]

Hello all,
i converted a VMWare WinXP image with the VMWare ovf tool.
(Removed the VMWare tools from the guest system)

The import of the ovf file back to VMWare works normal. The import to VBox shows an error:

Failed to import appliance .

Callee RC: RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE 0x800706BA (0x800706BA)

Can someone explain me what i need to do to make the ovf file import to VBox will be successfull

Thanks for help

ISTM that VirtualBox has not been installed properly. Try again, using "Run as adminstrator" to run the installer while logged in as the correct user (i.e. not the Admin named account).

Any idea or solution for this (except using Vmware)?

Ok it seems that Vbox isn't able to import ovf's with snapshots (stunning)...
Besides Vbox crashing commentless, this is missing in the documentation.

And never has supported that, AFAIK it isn't even part of the OVF spec - snapshots are always merged when exporting an appliance.
