VMWare player importing XP mode

Cannot get the "Import Window XP Mode" to work on VMWare player.  The error I get is:

"This feature of VMWare Player requires the VMWare VCenter Converter Standalone product".

I installed Converter Standalone and it does not the XP mode file.

Any ideas?

Addendum to my question:  Was using VMWare Player 4, performed an uninstall and install 3.5.

Import XP mode now works.  Will not upgrade to 4.0 until figure out why it won't import XP mode.

I can confirm the issue for you.  Worked great previously, but under VMWare Player 4.0, it does not work.

Indeed. That's what I did unwittingly and it just worked. Actually, it worked better.Smiley Happy
