    Can you try using the ovftool to see if you get the same error?

    ovftool Docs and download here.

    Command:

    ovftool --allowExtraConfig vi://administrator@vsphere.local:<password>@<vcenter-ip>/<datacenter>/vm/<path-to-vm>/<vm-name> <local path to place exported OVF>

    This will write the exported OVF to the local target directory.
