Oops - Vsphere unknown (invalid) VM

Hi all,

 

I have the vSphere 5.5 esxi desktop client and esxi on an HP server.

 

Probably made a bit of a mess of this VM so would appreciate some advice. Loaded vmware ESXi a few years ago and it pretty much runs without too much intervention.
I created a VM with a (thick) 750Gb hard disk and turns out I need some disk space that so decided to shrink that VM. As the approved way of doing this is to p2v the disk then create a new VM I did this, by downloading the latest p2v converter.

 

I have deleted the original VM to make some space.

 

When I added the .vmx file to the inventory it now appears as:

Unknown (invalid)


How can I get this vm back up and running? Do I need to upgrade to v6.0


many thanks
