Problem
I still think P2V conversions are cool, and I’ve been doing them since version 3! It seems though every time I try and do one with the standalone converter though I get this error;
VMware vCenter Converter Standalone
Unable to complete installation/uninstallation of converter agent on ‘{target}’
