Downloaded VMware converter to my Vista 64 just to do a test run and make sure it's Vista 64 compatible. Not sure how it works but when I start the Conversion Wizard and get to selecting source and click {This Local Machine} I get an error that says "You don't have enough rights to preform this operation. Administrative rights are required". In the boxes User Name it has: Main-PC/John Doe and in Password it has: ******** even though I don't have a password set. These boxes are grayed out so I can't edit them. Should I wait and run VMware converter from the Pro Mac when I get it or can/should it run from my Vista 64 PC?
Got a tip for us?

I cannot post without saying what a bad idea it is to not have a password set for your admin account.
Try setting a password, and then running the converter.

It's my home PC and I'm the only user so not have a password is a benefit, not a problem.
I just made a password that is six letters long however when I run VMware converter I get the same eight (********) in the password box with no way to edit.

Apparently VMWare Fusion does not support VMWare converted images.
Apparently VMWare Converter doesn't support Vista.

That looks like an old document, because the version of Converter that we use at work lists Workstation 6 and Fusion as supported targets. I'm not sure about Vista though.
