How to Export a VirtualBox Virtual Machine and Import it Into VMware Workstation

**DISCLAIMER**
This success of this process seems to vary based on your environment, VM configuration, VM operating system and so on so your results may vary. You may come across issues such as needing to manually install a network adapter driver if you remove from the VM before exporting it. You may also find that your virtual DVD drive takes the same SATA port\channel as your virtual hard drive so you may need to adjust it.

**You can also try this method using the command line to convert your VDI file to a VMDK file and then attach it to a VMware Workstation VM.

This was really helpful. I had difficulty to setup the network. My hint:
Don't forget to change Guest OS.
Procedure
1. Right-click the virtual machine in the inventory and select Edit Settings.
2. Click the VM Options tab and expand General Options.
3. From the Guest OS drop-down menu, select the guest operating system family.
4. From the Guest OS Version drop-down menu, select the guest operating system version.
5. Click OK.
