Convert a Acronis True Image Home 2011 image?

[rippo]

Does the convertor convert a Acronis True Image Home 2011 into a VM?

I am getting an error "The source parameters are invalid"

I am using v4.3.0 build 292238

I have also included the convertor diagnostics.

Thanks

1. create new VM
2. boot VM into Acronis LiveCD
3. restore image from a network location
4. power off VM

5. launch Converter and use "configure machine" option against the newly created VM

Ouch!

I was hoping somebody would say "yes our next beta convertor does it", download it here!

AFAIK Acronis support of 5beta version is the same as in 4.3

Is there a link or featured spec online somewhere?

Sorry to be pain but your first reply looks hard!
