    Just after ploughing through a ton of verbose tekkie websites to get this exact information.
    Here you have the answer in 4 lines of text and already I’m 100% sure it will work.

    Unfortunately brevity and quality do not mix for Google. It took me ages to get this info.

    Excellent,

    Thanks again.

    Unfortunately, this method creates blank VMDK only. I managed to convert VDI to VMDK and it is working fine in VMware Player. Check my post here
