Move VM from Workstation to ESXi: cannot open VMX configuration file when powering on
I have a VM running on a very old Workstation v.7 and need to move to ESXi v.7. I've shutted down the VM and copied the Folder containing the VM from the PC running Workstation to the Datastore on the ESXi. Once the copy was over, I've "Registered an existing virtual machine" using the ESXi Web Console. The Registration completed successfully but when I try to start the VM I get the error:
The VMX File exists. What's missing?
The VMX File exists. What's missing?

VMware
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.
