SFM installation

Did you download the correct installer?

Yes, the latest version of SFM for VMware. ESXI needs a .ovf and a .vmdk witch i found several in the archive.

But did you extract all files out of the zip and retry the .ovf again?

Vmware is not able to read files out of a zip. You need to extract all files first. 

Thanks,

Yes all files where unziped.

What I did in ESXI was create a VM from OVF and VMDK, select files uncompressed on my machine. (SFM_VM.ovf and SFM_VM-disk1.vmdk), clic next two times to validate datastore and options then my client crashed with an expected error. I did that from 2 client with 3 different browsers, also reinstalled an hypervisor this morning on a different hardware: still the same

Did this now with VMware Workstation.

Some Changes.

Important to have 2 disks.

I also got it work with virtualbox, I’ll use one or the other.
