Issue with ovftool "Error: Failed to open file: .\" when try to export to ovf

Hello

I have created a VM in VMware Workstation 15 Player and I am experiencing an issue when trying to export using ovftool.exe.

I am running Workstation on a Windows 10 laptop.

OS: Windows 10

The host is a Serveur 2012R2

I am using VMware® Workstation 15 Player 15.0.2

After having installed ovftool on the laptop, I launched this command from a command prompt (Run as) and get the error message.

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool.exe "C:\Users\loulou\Documents\Virtual Machines\Windows Server 2012C\Windows Server 2012.vmx" "D:\Windows Server 2012.ovf"

Error: Failed to open file: C:\Users\loulou\Documents\Virtual Machines\Windows Server 2012C\Windows Server 2012.vmx

Completed with errors

I saw this post: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/602858

I changed the "sata0:1.deviceType" from "cdrom-image" to "atapi-cdrom" but the command still returns the same error message.

Is the command OK?

Do I have to run the tool from somewhere else ?

In advance, I thank you for your help.
