Shrinking VMDK using VMWare Convertor

Was getting this sometimes trying to convert a VM. I just clicked finish again and then it started to convert fine. Odd.
Run into this annoying issue trying to convert a Server 2008 RC2 VM to an ESX server.
Nice simple fix. Run Convertor as admin.
NOTE: This is relating to a Physical machine to Virtual. But this fix worked for me where my server 2008 R2 is Virtual in VMware Workstation and wanted to move it to an ESX box.
