Hello,

With converter 4.0.1, you can try to manually install the agent on the source machine. The agent installer is located in the converter installation folder - search for "VMware-Converter-Agent". Copy the package to the source machine and run it. If installation of the agent fails again, provide the install logs located in c:\Windows\Temp.

If installation is successful, start converter and try to P2V the machine again, this time you should be able to complete the convertion wizard without, agent installation promtps.
