ovftools, VMware Converter & downgrade ESX5 OVF to ESX4

Logged a call with VMware and they came back saying we couldn't downgrade an OVF of ESX5 to run on out ESXi4 vSphere environment.  Of course I didn't get their response until the next day.  And by then I had it working.  I'm sure they'd say this solution isn't supported, but it works for me.  As it's making copies of the original OVF files, I can't see any harm in giving it a try:

1.  Download & install ovftool then run:

#ovftool virtual-appliance.ovf virtual-appliance.vmx  (to inflate the vmx, vmdk, etc.)

2.  Download and install VMware Converter Standalone (I grabbed the latest version as of this post, which is 5.0.1 build-875114).

(choose the advanced install option)

That's it.  This version of the VM Hardware is 7, which is ideal for our ESX4 environment.  Job Done.

In the process of researching this, I saw how powerful ovftool is, but couldn't get it working with these OVA files as some folks.
