When you create a virtual machine, Fusion stores the virtual machine files as a single package. This feature lets you move an entire virtual machine as a single entity.
A package (sometimes called a bundle) has the extension .vmwarevm. When you move the package, all virtual machine files are included.
You might need to access the virtual machine package files during troubleshooting.
Note: Editing the configuration file can cause problems. Make a backup copy of the file before you make any changes.
Prerequisites
Fusion must not be running during virtual machine file editing.
