      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have just performed a P2V conversion using vCenter Converter Standalone 6.2.0.1 with a legacy Dell PowerEdge R2950 running Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2.&amp;nbsp; The conversion completed 100% successfully and I'm able to boot the converted VM on my ESXI 6.7 U1 host.&amp;nbsp; However, I'm unable to install the VMware Tools to the VM to complete the driver setup for the NIC.&amp;nbsp; I'm running the latest build of VMware Tools of 10338.&amp;nbsp; I'm getting the following pop-up error in vCenter when I attempt to install VMware Tools:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;"The required VMware Tools ISO image does not exist or is inaccessible."&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I presume the issue is due to running such an old version of Windows Server 2003 on the converted VM.&amp;nbsp; Is there a way to manually install this version of VMware tools or possibly an older version of VMware tools so that I can get the NIC drivers to complete?&amp;nbsp; The original server is using a motherboard NIC by Broadcom.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for any input.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ken&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;If it's a W2k3 it should work no matter the version or edition.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Aren't you able to mount the VMware tools?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If not, the usual ways I think that they use VMware tools.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A thing you can do is, to create a new vmdk, attach it to another server, put the VMware tools package there, then attach it to your server.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And try to install it from that hd.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This, it should work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am able to mount the VMware tools ISO to the Windows 2003 VM.&amp;nbsp; However, when I attempt to install VMware tools manually by browsing the CD and going to D:\Setup.exe, I am getting "D:\Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application."&amp;nbsp; The VM is a 32bit version of Windows Server 2003 R2.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your suggestions.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ken&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
