VMware vCenter Converter error: Crypto Exception

While trying to do a VMware Physical to Virtual conversion, the task failed at 1% with an error mentioning “Crypto Exception”. I found the solution here:

“In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\ssl
When you try to open folder ssl, you will discover that you do not have permission to do so.
Assuming you have administrator privileges:
When you double click to open folder ssl, a pop-up will present a CONTINUE button which, when pressed, will permanently unlock the folder for you and the problem will be solved.”

This seems to have worked as my task is now well past 1% and continuing without an error 🙂
