Trying to open .vmx file from vConverter yields error "Error" in Fusion

[zefonz]

I'm trying to open a vm that I created using vCenter Converter on a Windows 2000 machine on my MacBook Air running Fusion v7.1.1.

When I cmd+o the .vmx file I simply get the error message "Error". What's the deal with these useless error messages and where do I go to find some useful information as to why I can't open this .vmx?

I can attach the .vmx if needed.

Hello

AFAIK Fusion creates a Windows VM to host Converter. The logs should be there (in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs). May be you should ask in a Fusion forum for more details.

However be aware that Converter does not support Windows 2000 since 4.3 (and by that I mean it can not convert W2K, not that it is just unsupported). I am not sure which exactly Converter version Fusion 7 uses but it should be newer than 5.0.
