You can open an existing virtual machine from its package file.
Unless you specify a file location for a virtual machine when you create it, Fusion saves the virtual machine package to a default location, which can vary. See Default File Location of a Virtual Machine.
Procedure
- In the Finder, browse to the virtual-machine location, such as the default
your home directory/Virtual Machines
folder, and find the package or configuration file for the virtual machine.
Virtual machine package files have the extension
.vmwarevm. Virtual machine configuration files have the extension
.vmx.
- (Optional) You can view a file's extension by selecting .
- Double-click the virtual machine package or configuration file to open the virtual machine in Fusion.
If
Fusion is not running, it starts automatically.
