Thank you for your reply, i think there is a misunderstanding but i got my answer regardless.
I've installed the standalone converter on a server and i'm trying to connect to vCenter using the standalone converter to export a vm from vcenter (vcenter is the source). vcenter is not liste as "Supported Source Type", so my only option is to install the necessary client on the OS to Hot export/clone the VM. I thought i can Hot export/clone the VM without touching the OS
