Hi,
Trying to install 'vCenter Converter', the installer fails with this error:
- Error -> 'Error 29142: Could not start service Vstor2 MntApi 2.0 Driver (shared)'
- Event Viewer -> 'The Vstor2 MntApi 2.0 Driver (shared) service failed to start due to the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning'
Environment is:
- Physical Machine: HP Compaq nw8440 ( laptop )
- Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP3
- Run 'vCenter Converter' installer using 'Administrator' account
Volkswagen navigation rns mfd2 cd free download. There is nothing attached to the laptop when I try to install 'vCenter Converter'
I tried:
- Several versions of 'vCenter Converter' from 4.3.0 to 5.5.3 ( all of them supporting installation in Windows XP ) -> Same error
- Uninstall / Reinstall USB ports ( USB Root Hub ) in the Physical Machine -> Same error
- Restart several times the Physical Machine -> Same error
Attached is the log file the installer generated ( invoking the installer: VMware-converter-all-5.5.0-292238.exe /v'/l*v VMwareInstall.log' ) -> Search for: '29142'
Any idea?
Thanks
