Please be aware that as of this writing the OVF file inside the OVA, has this declaration:
<VirtualHardwareSection>
      <Info>Virtual hardware requirements</Info>
      <System>
        <vssd:ElementName>Virtual Hardware Family</vssd:ElementName>
        <vssd:InstanceID>0</vssd:InstanceID>
        <vssd:VirtualSystemType>vmx-13</vssd:VirtualSystemType>
      </System>

So OpenDedupe is asking for Vmware ESX release 6.5 at least to be deployed.

According to this VMWARE document https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003746
