Instead of this stream of consciousness stuff (which I'm not sure anyone else benefits from), I think you may get better results by posting a specific question - accompanied by a zipped VM log file of course if you don't want the question to be skipped.

nothing stream of consciousness about different error messages while trying to do a straightforward import off an ova file.

Bottom line, delete the zipped files and start all over. If that doesnt work might want to give vmware a shot

There is nothing guaranteed to be straightforward about an OVA import. It requires that a lot of things were done right before VirtualBox is even involved. As I said, without specific error messages (at least not embedded in TL;DR) and log files we are not going to get far with this.

The only error message you quote seems to have an easily understood meaning, though not one I've seen before.

Perhaps clearing up one misconception could be helpful: this is not an Oracle support site. In particular we have no special knowledge or brief to support Oracle Linux. This is a VirtualBox users forum.

trying it again. The OVA file is 9 zipped files which come together as 1 ova file after 7 zip the first one. This is out on a developers web site available to all.
Tried it with the GUI and the command line. same result: E_INVALIDARG 0x80070057 mport appliance Oracle_Upgrade_HOL_18c.ova. This is after 40% complete
in both cases. That same site has about 20 ova files. Ive imported at least 6; smooth. Only this one.
The import is VM independent. It creates the VM as part of the import, no need to precreate the VM. That I have right no?

update .... blew away all import zip files
downloaded again and reran the import. Had to get the current version of the extensions 5.22.

It WORKED. Dont ask me why.

I would like to know how to handle something like this short of blowing it all away and starting over.

There well might not be another way!
