    I am trying to install vCenter Converter standalone on Server 2019. I am getting an error 29190: Could not generate SSL keys.

     

    Looking in the vminst log file I see the following:

    Check to see if you already have a version of openssl.exe on the machine. If it is in the PATH variable and is an older version, the install will fail.
