Problems installing vmware tools after running vmware converter (Windows NT4.0)

I have run into problems with a virtual machine that has been converted with VMware Converter Enterprise 4.01. The converersion process run without errors, but I'm not able to install VMware tools after the conversion. The installations quits when the VMware Tools starts the insallation ogf the toolbox component. We also had som problemes with the NIC and the VGA driver, but have installed them from other sources an got them up and running. Even if we try to just install the toolbox componet in vmware tools the installation quits. We have tried to reinstall the servicepack and all necessary drivers, but still get errors on installation of the VMware toolbox component in VMware tools.

Does anyone have som suggestions of how to solve this problem? The converted VM is running Windows NT4.0 Sp6a
