As I see it you have two choices in order to get this working.

1. Make sure that the version you are using is v3.02 update 1

2. You could simply image the machine using your favourite imaging tool (Ghost or something similar Acronis Trueimage) and restore it to a new VM and then use VMwareConverter to configure it.
