anyone knows how to go about this? i could install manual but the server has explorer.exe which restrict me from launching anything

There's an area of VMTN for Converter Standalone, it's a different product to NSX, I've reported your thread asking moderators to move it.

Hard to say what may be causing the issue without knowing the converter version that you are trying to install on this old Windows Server version. Error 1601 is usually related to Windows Installer issues/incompatibilites. Maybe the installation log can sched light on this!?

Hi thanks for the response am using this version 

 

[b.w]

try to install the converter-agent manually on the source computer - its located in the install folder of the converter named vmware-converter.agent.exe

[gicheha]

  I cant login to the server error explorer.exe that's why why I was trying to convert the server

[b.w]

ok - without valid credentials you have no chance with the converter as its trying to install the agent remotely

[gicheha]

  I have the credentials just my server wont go past explorer.exe application error that's why I wanted to get the data

[b.w]

i think that converting this machine will result in a vm with the same explorer error - so better try to repair your windows
