OK looks like internet was not issue - I had to reinstall VMware cconverter 5.51 again today on a restored backup of my system which never had it installed before (no prior version). Same issue with it hanging at very end.
Then I did full clean up incl registry of vmware including vmware player had installed before (uninstalled) and all program folders etc removed and checked all vmware services and network adaptors etc were uninstalled. Rebooted and tried again. Same issue. Firewall was off as well and no AVirus installed at moment.
See log details attached -can you please help me work out what is issue -unable to get help for this from developer as is free product and no support, and I really need this to work to backup my old XP (lots of educational programs want to keep for kids) to use via W8 in Vmware Player/Virtual Box/Hyper-V.
Please help. Not sure what to do from log entries or what to look for. Maybe a 1602 error but could not find anything on this google.
