Problems Converting XP Client to Vshpere

Hi,

I have had some issues converting an Windows XP client on to a Vshpere box. I had issues converting the machine by using the stand alone version of converter so I used the converter plugin and it was able to convert the client.

Now I am having isses getting the VM tools to install on the converted VM, I have tried installing it starts with the warning prompt but after sitting there for 30 mins nothing happens.

I have set the windows.iso to the CD drive to try and manually install the VM tools, most of the time it just disconnets it self but when it does connect there seems to be a problem with the .msi.

Has any one seen this before?

Thanks
