I'm trying to convert a .ova into a .vmx using OVFTool 2.1.0 but after reaching 99% I get an "IO Error"/Disk Transfer Failed and then the .vmx is deleted.
During the extraction process everything appears fine - I can monitor the file size of the .vmx and it continues to increase before being abruptly deleted after the error occurs.
Both source/destination files are on my local disk. Here's the output of OVFTool:
