VMware Virtual Machine Importer is a migration utility that converts third‑party virtual machines into VMware‑compatible formats. Using a simple wizard, it takes existing VMs—especially those created with Microsoft Virtual PC or Virtual Server—and transforms their virtual disks and configurations (e.g., VHD to VMDK, VM settings to VMX) so they can run in VMware Workstation, Player, or Server. It streamlines platform switching and lab consolidation by handling disk format conversion, mapping core hardware settings, and checking basic guest OS compatibility. The tool was designed to make it easy to bring non‑VMware VMs into the VMware ecosystem and served as a precursor to VMware’s broader conversion offerings.
VMware Virtual Machine Importer is developed by VMware, Inc.. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 1.5 and 2.0. The names of program executable files are v2vapp.exe, vmimport.exe.
