This means Commons Compress doesn't recognize the file as a 7z
archive. A 7z archive Compress knows to deal with starts with the six
bytes

37 7A BC AF 27 1C

- the first two bytes are "7z" - and your archive doesn't seem to do so.

The 7z utility supports a lot of formats beyond 7z, maybe it does
support vmdks directly? If the vmdk format is
https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vddk/vmdk_50_technote.pdf or
something similar then Commons VFS would look like a more natural place
for support than Compress IMHO.
