This is the command I type.
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool -st=vmdk "C:\Windows Server 2016\win2trg1-1.vmdk" -tt=ova "C:\Windows Server 2016\win2trg1-1.ova"
However it did not work. The error is found below.

I am using windows 8 cmd and I did get help from this link. convert VMX to OVF using OVFtool . It did not work
Any solutions?
Try this command:
ovftool [original .vmx location and filename] [new .ova location and filename]
Example:
ovftool test_machine.vmx test_machine.ova
If you don't have .vmx then you can also say
ovftool test_machine.ovf test_machine.ovf
If you have VMware Workstation, you can open your VM (the .vmx
file) and use File > Export to OVF...
. This will create an OVF file that you can use in VirtualBox.
According to this post , an OVA file is just a TAR archive containing the OVF package files. So you could do it by hand.
