Converted local machine succesfully but cannot open in VMPlayer

[HectorSantos]

Just created a from a local  machine (Windows 8 ) using Vmware vCenter Converter Standalone 5.5.0 build 1362012 to a VMware Player 6.0.x vmx

But when i try to open it in VMware player 6.0.1 nothing happens, it opens and closes very quickly, with no error message. Any sugggestions ?

I'd have a look at Player's logs.

Where can I find them under windows 8 ? New to these, sorry

Hi;

The vmware.log file is located on the VM's directory.  If you don't know where this directory is, click on "Edit virtual machine settings" and check the location of your disk.

Regards,

Julien.

WS 9.0 on Windows7 is here : "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\hostd". Not sure about Player - either the same or somewhere around.

First check if WS6 supports Windows 2008!

Should ask in Workstation forum about this.

At first glance it seem the network card can't be used and then Player refuses to get console connection to the VM:
2013-12-11T12:32:54.766-06:00| vmx| I120: E1000PCI: failed to register e1000e device.

a few lines later:

2013-12-11T12:32:54.766-06:00| mks| I120: MKS PowerOff

Try changing the network controller (e.g. with e1000). It this doesn't work - post in WS forum, as POCEH said.

HTH
