Hi, gentlemen:
I attempt using VMware Studio 2.5 to build a virtual appliance from vMA in ESXi 4.1, and then only assign the OVF 1.0 as my build format.
After a successful build and download OVF package, using "deploy OVF template ... " of vSphere Client to import this downloaded virtual appliance.
An error dialog says "The order of Disk elements in the DiskSelection is not consistent with the order of the File references." indicates OVF deployment failure. Obviously the OVF cannot associate to the VMDK file.
I also try URL copied the hyberlink from the columns of the successful build, I met the same condition as above.
I modify the .OVF and correct the reference as below:
.....
<References>
<File ovf:href="demo_vma-000006.vmdk" ovf:id="demo_vma-000006.vmdk_id"/>

Another error message occurred and said "File demo_vma_OVF10.ovf fails integrity check and might have been corrypted during transfer."
How to avoid this condiition which OVF does not associate to vmdk file?
