If I want to start the converter in safe-mode, I get first the message "VMware vCenter Converter standalone Server is installed but not running. When ,,,to local server. Do you want to start it now?" and after that the message "Unable to start VMware vCenter Converter standalone Server. You will not be able to connect to local server.".
Then I get the logon-screen and when I typed in my password, I get the message "Failed to connect to VMware vCenter Converter standalone server at localhost on port 443. Check your netwerok connection and try again."
