It's actually no error, but the result of not being able to get automatic (DHCP) IP settings. Please check which virtual network (Host-Only, NAT, Bridged) is configured for the VM and check whether the related DHCP service is running. Also make sure the VM's network adapter is configured with "Connect at power on". If there's no DHCP server available follow the instruction in the red part of the screen.

This also occurs when the setup isn't run during an OVF/OVA deployment and network settings weren't configured.  There's usually a (Java?) setup application that runs when deploying the OVA from a vSphere Client.  With Player, you probably didn't go through this.  This happens for similar OVAs from VMware and others.  The setup app looks like the below

All the best,

Mike
