Dell Storage Manager Virtual Appliance - The provided manifest file is invalid

When deploying the Dell Storage Manager Virtual Appliance  DSM VirtualAppliance-16.2.1.228 into a VMware vSphere 6.x platform, you see the error:

The provided manifest file is invalid: Invalid OVF manifest entry:

A work around to this is to download 7 Zip and extract the OVA to c:\Temp folder. Then download the OVAtool from VMware:

 https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/ovf/.

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool.exe  "c:\Temp\DSMBuildVM-16.2.1.228.ovf" "c:\Temp\DSMBuildVM-16.2.1.228.ova"

The manifest validates
Opening OVA target: DSM.ova
Writing OVA package: DSM.ova
Transfer Completed
Warning:
 - No manifest entry found for: 'DSMBuildVM-16.2.1.228.ovf'.
 - File is missing from the manifest: 'DSMBuildVM-16.2.1.228.ovf'.
