Re: VMware Crash when trying to install vSRX on WMware Workstation Pro
Hey
I managed to fix this if your interested.
If you use 7zip to extract the OVA you can edit the OVF using notepad. <-- this whole section below:
<!--<DeploymentOptionSection>
<Info>vSRX RAM Deployment Options</Info>
<Configuration ovf:id="Default" ovf:default="true">
<Label>Default</Label>
<Description>
2 CPUs
</Description>
</Configuration>
<Configuration ovf:id="3GvRAM">
<Label>3G vRAM</Label>
<Description>
3G Memory (recommended if UTM and/or IDP are enabled)
</Description>
</Configuration>
<Configuration ovf:id="4GvRAM">
<Label>4G vRAM</Label>
<Description>
4G Memory
</Description>
</Configuration>
<Configuration ovf:id="1GvRAM">
<Label>1G vRAM</Label>
<Description>
1G Memory
</Description>
</Configuration>
</DeploymentOptionSection>
-->
You need to then delete the .cert, .mf and .pem file from the folder.
Go back to VMware Workstation > Open > Browse to extracted folder and open the new OVF with the changes and it imports fine. Running three on version 14.1.1 at the moment.
Hope this helps.

Re: VMware Crash when trying to install vSRX on WMware Workstation Pro
Need to change some addition content in ovf file as @Charles_Juniper's mentions and:
<!--
<Item ovf:configuration="4GvRAM">
<rasd:AllocationUnits>byte * 2^20</rasd:AllocationUnits>
<rasdescription>Memory Size</rasd
escription>
<rasd:ElementName>Memory</rasd:ElementName>
<rasd:InstanceID>%iid%</rasd:InstanceID>
<rasd:ResourceType>4</rasd:ResourceType>
<rasd:VirtualQuantity>4096</rasd:VirtualQuantity>
</Item>
<Item ovf:configuration="3GvRAM">
<rasd:AllocationUnits>byte * 2^20</rasd:AllocationUnits>
<rasdescription>Memory Size</rasd
escription>
<rasd:ElementName>Memory</rasd:ElementName>
<rasd:InstanceID>%iid%</rasd:InstanceID>
<rasd:ResourceType>4</rasd:ResourceType>
<rasd:VirtualQuantity>3072</rasd:VirtualQuantity>
</Item>
<Item ovf:configuration="1GvRAM">
<rasd:AllocationUnits>byte * 2^20</rasd:AllocationUnits>
<rasdescription>Memory Size</rasd
escription>
<rasd:ElementName>Memory</rasd:ElementName>
<rasd:InstanceID>%iid%</rasd:InstanceID>
<rasd:ResourceType>4</rasd:ResourceType>
<rasd:VirtualQuantity>1024</rasd:VirtualQuantity>
</Item>
-->
And again, thanks to @Charles_Juniper

Re: VMware Crash when trying to install vSRX on WMware Workstation Pro
You need to change some things as mentioned in the first post of this thread or the first reply.
It is applicable to vSRX 12.x and VMWare Workstation 14.x. That I tested. Can work well for VMWare Workstation 15.x. If you use vSRX 15.x it is not necessary any more.

Re: VMware Crash when trying to install vSRX on WMware Workstation Pro
[ Edited ]Hi,
1. the issue still occurs with workstation 15.0.1 and I updated my "report" to VMware with that information at https://communities.vmware.com/message/2816761
2. workaround is still the same as before
- edit .ovf file and remove the DeploymentOptionSection
- further edit the .ovf file so that "<Item ovf:configuration="4GvRAM">" reads just "<Item>"
- remove the .mf manifest file as the signature for the .ovf file obviously doesn't match anymore
Regards
Ulf

Re: VMware Crash when trying to install vSRX on WMware Workstation Pro
Thanks for this!
Only problem I had (Workstation v14, vSRX Eval 18.2) was that the image booted into Wind River OS. Problem is that the default interface on WS is not vmxnet3.
You also need to go into the VMX-file and replace the Virtualdeve statements with ethernet*.virtualDev = "vmxnet3" wher the * is the interface number for each of the Ethernet adapters
