Fail to Configure a Amazon EC2 Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi,

I followed the steps from

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=101801...

I have an issue with step 5 - c:

--------------------------------------

5 - Start vCenter Converter Standalone and create a conversion task to import the Workstation image into the vSphere:

  1. On the Specify Source page, select VMware Workstation or other VMware virtual machine from theSelect source type drop-down menu.
  2. Click Browse to locate the *.vmx file you downloaded from the Amazon S3 server and click OK to return to the Specify Source page .
  3. Click Next to proceed to the Specify Destination page.

------------------------------------

When I click Next, I get the error : Unable to obtain hardware information

The log file shows:

What am I missing?

Thanks
