The VMX file extension stands for VMX, which is a configuration file associated with VMware. It is a text-based file type and contains information about how a virtual environment is configured. This includes settings related to the operating system, memory allocation, hardware devices attached, and other related settings.
Detailed Description
The VMX file must follow VMware specific syntax in order for the virtual machine to be created properly. It includes data such as the version of VMware, the name of the virtual machine, the CPUs allocated, RAM size, etc. It also contains information about any hardware connected to the virtual environment such as disk controllers, floppy drives, Ethernet adapters, and video cards. Additionally, parameters related to power options and BIOS/EFI settings can also be specified in the VMX configuration file.
Other similar file extensions include: VMDK, VMC, VMFT, and VMSD.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VMX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .VMX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .VMX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .VMX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .VMX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VMX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VMX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .VMX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VMX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .VMX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
