Using OVF Tool 3.5.0 to export a VM created witn VMware Player

I installed OVF Tool 3.5.0 on Windows 7 64bit PC to export a VM created with VMware Player 6.

I run ovftool.exe and I try to pass the path of the .vmx file but ovftool looks to be unable to open the .vmdk file and fails.

Now, my questions are:

• Should ovftool be able to export a VM created with VMware Player (the format is the same used by VMware Workstation)?
• If so, what is the exact syntax to use?
• Is there anything else to consider?
