Are you not able to build / getting any errors while building?

It is the "idvk" file you see in the folder where you have extracted idvk.tar. Typing ./idvk instead of ./idvk.sh will do fine:

./idvk get
./idvk build x86

Hi All,
          I have prepared the installer.img file. And the result of sfdisk -l installer.img is
          for C/H/S=*/256/63 (instead of 12/255/63).

          And on this basis I have made the following installer.vmdk file
 
# Disk DescriptorFile
version=1
CID=b01deebc
parentCID=ffffffff
createType="monolithicFlat"
# Extent description
RW 794622 FLAT "installer.img" 0
# The Disk Data Base
#DDB
ddb.virtualHWVersion = "4"
ddb.geometry.cylinders = "12"
ddb.geometry.heads = "255"
ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"
ddb.adapterType = "ide"
ddb.toolsVersion = "0"



When I am trying to add this vmdk file. I am getting the error as "This file is not a virtual disk file".
Please help me where I am wrong.

Have you put the vmdk file together with the installer.img and be sure that the installer.img can be accessed by current user. I cannot see obvious problem in your steps in creating the vmdk. Hope it helps.
