V2V error with vConverter standalone - Unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine.


When converting a VMWare workstation format VM (V2V) you might get this error if you're trying to read the image from a network path with a deep folder structure.


The simple resolution is to map a drive letter at the top level so the vmx and vmdk files are visible directly under the drive letter.

The converter wizard will then allow you to progress to specifying the destination system.
