The OVF Tool Path should have the full path to the ovftool, so either:

C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\OVFTool\ovftool.exe

or

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool\ovftool.exe

depends on where it's installed in your machine.

Setting the OVF tool path is done on the vCenter cloud provider resource/s, it's one of the configuration attributes there.
