VMware Import Wizard shows error

The following error occurs in case of breach or lack of permission of your system, the solution for avoiding this problem are:-

1 > Make sure that the Virtual machine is not currently running in VMware server.

2 > The permission to access the VMware files are allotted by the user.

3 > Make sure that VMware Server does not have a lock on the VM’s files. You have have to stop all VMware Server Services and/or reboot the (VMware) server.
