You can use the free VMware converter tool to import Microsoft virtual machines into VMware. Most of the Microsoft product line can be downloaded for evaluation in a pre configured virtual machine format. Microsoft virtual machines come with a virtual disk with a file extension of VHD and configuration file with the extension VMC, VMware uses VMDK for the virtual disk and VMX for the configuration file.

You can use VMware converter to convert the image to run on either VMware Server / Workstation or directly to an ESX/ESXi host.

Don’t choose to install VMware tools as part of the conversion as this conflicts with Microsoft’s own virtual machine enhancements (MS Virtual Machine Additions) and will probably stop your mouse working. Instead do a manual install of VMware Tools after the conversion but choose not to install the VMware mouse driver.

If you have installed VMware tools and stopped the mouse working then you could try the following:

Using regedit go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E96F-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
remove the value msvmmouf from the UpperFilters Regvalue and reboot your virtual machine.
