I started it and now the option is greyed out.
Is there a way to see if it got installed? Nothing is running at the moment, thus, I have to assume it got installed.

Did you install VMware Tools in the VM?
Failing to install VMware Tools would mean that Windows wouldn't have a driver for the VMware virtual network card. It would also explain your other post where you are unable to resize the console window because Windows doesn't natively contain a driver for the VMware virtual graphics card.

I had used your unofficial guide for the conversion.
Yes, I had first removed the Parallels Tools before starting the conversion.
I showed on the screen shot, that when trying to do an Windows system update I got a message that I am not connected to the Internet.
Regarding looking at the config for the vmx, I don't know how to do that. I checked the various options I found, but did not see a config for vmx (I am still new to VMWare). Can you tell me where to look?
My screen shot also showed that my network adapter was active (i.e. green).

What exactly do you mean when you say that the VM can connect to the Internet? How did you verify that?
Did you remove the Parallels tools, and install VMware Tools?
if you look in the configuration (.vmx) file for the VM, what is the virtual network adapter type? Is ti vmxnet3 or e1000e?

On my newly converted VM (from Parallels) I wanted to do a system update, but got an error that I am not connected to the Internet.
The network adapter is active, and I can connect to the Internet with my Mac (and also from within the Parallels VM).

Is there any other network related setting that I need to check or change to activate Internet connection?
