This rocks. I am going to try to convert one of those downloadable "virtual appliances" from the VMWare site to see if they can be converted for use in virtual server 2005...

Works well, but beware it doesn't overwrite the *.vhd even if it says it will.

It's really what I want. but I can't download it, the file to be downlaod is download.aspx. why?

It doesn't work. Throw out a Unhandled Exception. It will run when it tries to overwrite a file, but consider it doesn't overwrite. It doesn't really help.

as a programmer....I see that you are receiving the above because .Net is improperly installed.

We already have Microsoft Virtual Server and now I want to implement the SpamVigilante-MailFilter appliance, which is a VMWare image. I was afraid I had to install VMWare server but now I can simply convert the image with this tool. There are a lot more pre-build VMWare appliances which I can convert using this tool. So I am a very happy man. :-)

glansing said:

One thing: when I manually enter the destination filename, the button 'convert' is still grayed out. When I use the button 'Save as' the button 'Convert' becomes available.

Truly appreciate the folks out there giving us the right tools that Microsoft simply does not provide. Especially being free, I can't say how much i truly appreciate this!

gotcher said:

I don't know if you are still have this issue, but I had the same issue "invalid vmdk file". I still had the .vmdk file running. When I shut it down and reran the converter, everything worked correctly.
