Error installing OVA 'xsi' is an undeclared namespace. Line 124,position 11.

Hi,

installing latest OVAon ESXI 5.5 gives the xsi error.

So far no google search has provided a good solution.

I also read on this forum that this happened over 1 year ago with no solution provided.

comments?

in order to fix the XSI error that the OVA appliance has. You need to 

1- Open the OVA file with an extractro such as 7-zip

2- extract or modify the file Datish Virtual NAS Appliance 5_2.ovf

3- find line #2 and add these text to the end of the line, right before the ">"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

4- Save the file and import the OVA as usual.

okey... i could fix it by extracting everything and deleting the manifest file... used vmware tools to pack the whole thing again and now it works fine. also there is another section you have to fix in the ovf file, this: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/dedupfilesystem-sdfs-user-discuss/xsi%7Csort:date/dedupfilesystem-sdfs-user-discuss/lhqE1jZ0w60/M75g8IfmBwAJ
