VMware Converter Agent System Error

VMWare Workstation 7.1.3 build-324285

Windows 7 - 32 bit OS

I am attempting to create an image of my current local PC using the Conversion Wizard.

I select Physical Computer as source.

Chose This local machine for which I am logged in as an administrator.

Select to ignore page file and hibernation file.

For destination type I select Other Virtual Machine.

Location I select my external hard drive (E:)

I allow virtual disk files to expand.

I leave the network page default which is choosing 5 NICs.  I have also tried just one with same results.

I select to Remove all System Restore checkpoints.

During Step 2 I recieve: 

ERROR:

VMware Converter Agent System Error

This occurs within a few seconds of beginning the process.

I have also tried the newer build 7.1.5 with the same reults.

I have reviewed other answers posted regarding similar issues and have not had any luck.  Any help would be appreciated.
