VMware: Error The specified parameter was not correct: "." on VMware Converter

When you try to P2V a Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 7 x64 using VMware Converter 4.3 you receive following error: The specified parameter was not correct: "."

Solution: right click on VMware Converter icon on the desktop and choose Run as administrator

Note to VMware: UAC is around since Windows 2008 and Windows Vista (probably +3 years), will be nice if your development team learn about it!!!!!

    Many thanks. This was my first intro to VMWare and I was ready to chuck the whole thing. Your helpful fix gave it a second chance. Thanks again.
