ESXi 6.5 .vmdk to Hyper-V Error

I'm trying to convert and transfer my ESXi VM's over to a Hyper-V server. I keep getting these errors:

6/11 14:33:52.721 5304 Facility ???ERROR: ESXVmdk::ParseFile: m_VixDiskLib_Open is fail - 1, Unknown error
6/11 14:33:52.721 5304 Facility ???ERROR: ESXIDisk::CreateInputImage: ParseFile is fail

I've tried: Gen 1, gen 2, VHD, VHDX; it consistently fails.

I'm using 9.0.1.243 along with running as Administrator and the VM is shut down. Any help would be fantastic!

Thank you :D

Save the file locally somewhere and try converting it then. Alternatively, convert the disk alone.
