Hello,
I am trying to convert a physical NT4.0 SP6 machine via ethernet to a VMWre 6.5 Image. I have an Admin account on the machine, and use Workstations Conversion Wizard. However, when it tries to install the converter agent, I get an error, please see logfile below.
I then tried to copy the vmware converter.msi manually to the remote machine, and execute it, but I keep getting an Error 1723 by the msi setup telling me that A required DLL cannot be found.
Below is the logfile from the conveersion wizard. Please help, how can I convert this machine?

Hi,
I had the same issue and solved it using remotely the vmware converter named VMware-converter-3.0.3-89816.exe
After the converter install the agent in the machine, do not forget to restart the server.
AFAIK the embedded Converter of Workstation can not handle NT 4 - use Converter 3.0.3 or your favorite Coldclone Cd
