Virtualize Physical Machine fails quickly


The virtualizaation of "xxxxxx" failed: An unexpected error occurred.

Make sure the user "xxxxx" has sufficient privileges on "xxxx" and consult VMware Workstation documentation for assistance.

Documentation is one page.  User has administrative rights to machine which is XP Pro SP3.

Is there another way to do this?  Can the converter be run on the physical machine?

Converter is being run from Win 7 SP1.  Converter is 5.0.0 build 470252.  VMware workstation 9.0.2 build-1031769

You could install the Converter  on the source machine and select "This system" as the source.

Btw. can you please provide some details, like the OS on which you run the Converter, the Converter Version, version of VMware Workstation, XP edition (Home/Prof) and whether it's a retail or OEM edition ...
