9033	Import failure due to OVA file name not matching the name of OVF inside OVA -> Fixed in SVN	tdyas		"I exported a virtual machine to OVA format using the main !VirtualBox GUI. I then renamed the OVA file before uploading it to network drive for distribution to my organization's users. When one of my users attempted to import the appliance into his !VirtualBox instance, it failed to import with the following error code: (I've redacted the path name as ""<pathname>."")

Failed to import appliance <pathname>

Could not read OVF file '<pathname>' (VERR_TAR_END_OF_FILE)

Details:

Result Code: VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0xB0BB0004)
Component: Appliance
Interface: IAppliance {7b148032-4124-4f46-b56a-b48ac1273f5a}


Renaming the OVA file so that it matched the name of the OVF file inside fixed the issue.

!VirtualBox should either (1) not care about a mismatch between the name of the OVA and the OVF inside, or (2) display an error message that actually informs the user that they need to rename the file."	defect	closed	OVF	VirtualBox 4.0.8	fixed			other	other
