http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1009167
This is a Microsoft issue, please refer to the below KB from Microsoft

But that I have done as they look in the forum that error but still the same problem, I get the same error while trying to run the converteragent on that computer is a Windows 2000 server.
If you convert successfully a remote source machine that runs 64-bit Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7 operating system and then try converting it again, the conversion fails with the error message Converter Standalone Agent installation failed on x.x.x.x Error code: 1603
, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the source machine.
This error message might occur if automatic uninstall of remote Converter Standalone agent has been enabled during the first successful conversion.
Workaround: Restart the remote source machine and try running the conversion task again.
