Workstation Pro 14 returning (Unable to complete installation/uninstallation of Converter agent on 'Machine')

I have Workstation installed on a Win7 Box trying to Virtualise a Physical Machine ( have successfully completed 2 migrations) on this maching i repeatedly encounter the error:Unable to complete installation/uninstallation of Converter agent on ' Machine'.

I am using Local Admin Accounts on both machines I have all my security software turned off for this conversion And I have turned off User Account Control settings.

Please help this does not make sense I have used this software before and never ran into this issue.

You might want to try downloading the latest version of the (free) VMware Converter directly, and installing the software onto the machine you want to virtualize.

RDPetruska,

     Tried this also and this is the error I get when Trying to Run As Admin while logged in as a local Admin.

FAILED: Insufficient permissions to access the source.

Ok got this Solved Ended up having to virtualise it to itself (?!?! Never had to do that before but ok) then had to move this to the server with the VMware installed.
