I think you mean the ability to convert a virtual appliance maybe? Not sure. There is an OVF Tool you can use: <a href="http://www.vmware.com/appliances/getting-started/learn/ovf.html" rel="ugc nofollow">http://www.vmware.com/appliances/getting-started/learn/ovf.html</a>; or you can simply import the OVF to your host via the vSphere Client.<br />

No. I accidentally downloaded an older version 4.0.1 of Converter Standalone. It has the ability to specify type Virtual Appliance for the destination. Version 4.3 doesnt have Virtial Appliance capability and I was wondering why.

The new converter 4.3 does not have the option to create a virtual appliance. Why did that go away?

VMWare Converter Stand Alone, Virtual Appliance question

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
