The system cannot find the file specified. . Error code: 2.

Can some one tell me whats wrong?
I can ping the vcenter server and 2003 from each side.
Using vCenter Converter 4.1
No firewalls are ON
Hi, you can try installing, in the win 2003, the converter standalone and then try to convert from there
